I said, "Messenger of Allah, we will meet the enemy tomorrow and we have no knives with us."He replied, "Be quick, or be sharp. Whatever causes the blood to flow and over which the name of Allah has been mentioned, eat it, so long as the instrument is not a tooth or a nail. I will tell you why. As for the tooth, it is a bone, and as for the nail, it is the knife of the Abyssinians."He continued, We captured some camels and sheep as spoils. One of the camels bolted, and a man shot it with an arrow and brought it down. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "These camels can become wild like wild beasts, so if any of them gets out of your control, do the same with it."
حدثنا يحيى عن سفيان قال حدثني أبي عن عباية بن رفاعة بن رافع بن خديج
قلت يا رسول الله إنا لاقو العدو غدا وليست معنا مدى قال أعجل أو أرن ما أنهر الدم وذكر اسم الله عليه فكل ليس السن والظفر وسأحدثك أما السن فعظم وأما الظفر فمدى الحبشة قال وأصابنا نهب إبل وغنم فند منها بعير فرماها رجل بسهم فحبسه فقال رسول الله ﷺ إن لهذه الإبل أوابد كأوابد الوحش فإذا غلبكم منها شيء فافعلوا به هكذا
