Mentioning Allah's Name Before Eating Meat

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) taught that when eating meat, one should mention Allah's Name before consuming it.

Narrated 'Aisha: The people said to the Prophet , "O Allah's Messenger ! Here are people who have recently embraced Islam and they bring meat, and we do not know whether they had mentioned Allah's Name while slaughtering the animals or not". The Prophet said, "You should mention Allah's Name and eat".
حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الأَحْمَرُ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ هِشَامَ بْنَ عُرْوَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ هُنَا أَقْوَامًا حَدِيثًا عَهْدُهُمْ بِشِرْكٍ، يَأْتُونَا بِلُحْمَانٍ لاَ نَدْرِي يَذْكُرُونَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهَا أَمْ لاَ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏ "‏ اذْكُرُوا أَنْتُمُ اسْمَ اللَّهِ وَكُلُوا ‏"‏‏.‏ تَابَعَهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَالدَّرَاوَرْدِيُّ وَأُسَامَةُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ‏.‏
