Sunan an-Nasai 4410 (Book 43, Hadith 50) #18943
Eating Meat Slaughtered Without a Knife

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the permissibility of eating meat that has been slaughtered without a knife, as long as the name of Allah is mentioned.

It was narrated that Rafi bin Khadij said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, we are going to meet the enemy tomorrow, and we do not have any knives'. He said: If the blood is shed and the name of Allah is mentioned, then eat, unlike (it is slaughtered) with teeth or nails and I will tell you about that. As for teeth, they are bones, and as for nails, they are the knives of the Ethiopians,; We acquired some spoils of war including sheep or camels, and a camel ran away, so a man shot an arrow at it an stopped it. The Messenger of Allah said: 'some of these animals' or 'these camels'- 'are untamed like wild animals, so if one of them goes out of your control, do the same". (Sahih )
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ عَبَايَةَ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا لاَقُو الْعَدُوِّ غَدًا وَلَيْسَتْ مَعَنَا مُدًى ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ مَا أَنْهَرَ الدَّمَ وَذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَكُلْ لَيْسَ السِّنَّ وَالظُّفْرَ وَسَأُحَدِّثُكُمْ أَمَّا السِّنُّ فَعَظْمٌ وَأَمَّا الظُّفْرُ فَمُدَى الْحَبَشَةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَأَصَبْنَا نَهْبَةَ إِبِلٍ أَوْ غَنَمٍ فَنَدَّ مِنْهَا بَعِيرٌ فَرَمَاهُ رَجُلٌ بِسَهْمٍ فَحَبَسَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ إِنَّ لِهَذِهِ الإِبِلِ أَوَابِدَ كَأَوَابِدِ الْوَحْشِ فَإِذَا غَلَبَكُمْ مِنْهَا شَىْءٌ فَافْعَلُوا بِهِ هَكَذَا

QUICK LESSONS:
Mentioning the name of God while slaughtering animals

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that it is permissible to eat meat that has been slaughtered without a knife, as long as the name of Allah is mentioned. This means that if an animal runs away and someone shoots an arrow at it to stop it, then they can still eat from this animal if they mention the name of God while slaughtering it. This teaches us to be mindful when we are dealing with animals and to always remember God in our actions. It also shows us how merciful and compassionate God is towards us by allowing us to eat even when we do not have access to all the tools necessary for slaughtering animals in a traditional way.
