Jami at-Tirmidhi 1409 (Book 16, Hadith 25) #26989
Doing Everything with Excellence and Kindness

SUMMARY: Allah has commanded us to do everything with excellence and kindness, even when killing animals for food.

Narrated Shaddad bin Aws: that the Prophet said: "Indeed Allah has decreed Ihsan in everything. So when you kill, then do the killing well, and when you slaughter, then do the slaughtering well. Let one of you sharpen his blade, and let him comfort his animal (before slaughtering)".
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الأَشْعَثِ الصَّنْعَانِيِّ، عَنْ شَدَّادِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَتَبَ الإِحْسَانَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ فَإِذَا قَتَلْتُمْ فَأَحْسِنُوا الْقِتْلَةَ وَإِذَا ذَبَحْتُمْ فَأَحْسِنُوا الذِّبْحَةَ وَلْيُحِدَّ أَحَدُكُمْ شَفْرَتَهُ وَلْيُرِحْ ذَبِيحَتَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ أَبُو الأَشْعَثِ الصَّنْعَانِيُّ اسْمُهُ شُرَحْبِيلُ بْنُ آدَةَ

This hadith is about the importance of doing everything with excellence and kindness. Allah has commanded us to do all our actions in a way that is pleasing to Him, even when it comes to killing animals for food. We should sharpen our blades so that the animal feels as little pain as possible, and we should also comfort the animal before slaughtering it. This teaches us that we must always strive for excellence in whatever we do, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem. We must also be kind and compassionate towards all living creatures, even if they are not human beings.
