Sahih al-Bukhari 5507 (Book 72, Hadith 33) #5283
The Importance of Mentioning Allah's Name

SUMMARY: It is important to mention Allah's name when slaughtering an animal for consumption.

Narrated 'Aisha: A group of people said to the Prophet, "Some people bring us meat and we do not know whether they have mentioned Allah's Name or not on slaughtering the animal". He said, "Mention Allah's Name on it and eat". Those people had embraced Islam recently.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا أُسَامَةُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ الْمَدَنِيُّ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ أَنَّ قَوْمًا، قَالُوا لِلنَّبِيِّ إِنَّ قَوْمًا يَأْتُونَا بِاللَّحْمِ لاَ نَدْرِي أَذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ أَمْ لاَ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ سَمُّوا عَلَيْهِ أَنْتُمْ وَكُلُوهُ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَتْ وَكَانُوا حَدِيثِي عَهْدٍ بِالْكُفْرِ‏.‏ تَابَعَهُ عَلِيٌّ عَنِ الدَّرَاوَرْدِيِّ‏.‏ وَتَابَعَهُ أَبُو خَالِدٍ وَالطُّفَاوِيُّ‏.‏
