These animals have instincts like those of the wild beasts, so if you lose control over one of them, treat it in this way

Chapter: Division of sheep

Authentic hadith of Sahih al-Bukhari Muttafaq ‘alayh (Bukhari and Muslim) Sahih al-Bukhari 2488

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ الأَنْصَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَبَايَةَ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ

كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِذِي الْحُلَيْفَةِ فَأَصَابَ النَّاسَ جُوعٌ فَأَصَابُوا إِبِلاً وَغَنَمًا‏.‏ قَالَ وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي أُخْرَيَاتِ الْقَوْمِ فَعَجِلُوا وَذَبَحُوا وَنَصَبُوا الْقُدُورَ، فَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِالْقُدُورِ فَأُكْفِئَتْ، ثُمَّ قَسَمَ فَعَدَلَ عَشْرَةً مِنَ الْغَنَمِ بِبَعِيرٍ فَنَدَّ مِنْهَا بَعِيرٌ، فَطَلَبُوهُ فَأَعْيَاهُمْ، وَكَانَ فِي الْقَوْمِ خَيْلٌ يَسِيرَةٌ فَأَهْوَى رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ بِسَهْمٍ فَحَبَسَهُ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ لِهَذِهِ الْبَهَائِمِ أَوَابِدَ كَأَوَابِدِ الْوَحْشِ فَمَا غَلَبَكُمْ مِنْهَا فَاصْنَعُوا بِهِ هَكَذَا ‏"

Rāfi‘ ibn Khadīj (may Allah be pleased with him) reported:

We were with the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) in Dhul-Hulayfah when the people were struck by hunger. They got camels and sheep as war booty. He said: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was at the rear. They hurried and slaughtered the animals and set up the pots. So, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that the pots should be overturned. Then he distributed, deeming ten sheep equal to one camel. One of the camels fled, and the people ran after it till they were exhausted. There were only a few horses with them. A man, thus, threw an arrow at the camel, and Allah caused it to stop. Then he said: "These animals have instincts like those of the wild beasts, so if you lose control over one of them, treat it in this way." He, i.e., Rāfi‘, said: We hope—or we fear—to meet the enemy tomorrow, and we have no knives; can we slaughter with reeds? He said, "Whatever causes the blood to flow, and the name of Allah is mentioned over it, then eat it, except for teeth and claws. I will tell you about this: as for teeth, they are bones, and as for claws, they are the knives of the Abyssinians."

Reported by Al-Bukhari (No. 2488, 2507, 3075, 5498, 5503, 5509, 5543, 5544), Muslim (No. 1968a), Abu Dawud (No. 2821), At-Tirmidhi (No. 1491, 1492, 1600), An-Nasa’i (No. 4297, 4404, 4409, 4410), Ibn Majah (No. 3178, 3183), Ahmad (No. 15245, 15252, 15253, 16624, 16626, 16645) and Ad-Darimi (No. 1895).

Explanation

Rāfi‘ ibn Khadīj (may Allah be pleased with him) informed that they were with the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) at Dhul-Hulayfah when the people were struck by hunger. They had captured camels and sheep as spoils of war from the polytheists. Acting hastily before the booty was divided, they slaughtered some of the animals and set up the pots without seeking permission from the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), who was walking at the rear of the group, learned about this and ordered that the pots be overturned, spilling out the stock therein. Then he divided the spoils among them, deeming ten sheep equal to one camel. During this, a camel escaped, and they were unable to catch it. With only a few horses available, one of the men shot it with an arrow, and Allah caused it to stop for them. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, these domestic animals have instincts like those of wild beasts. Whatever of them overcomes you and you are unable to catch them, deal with it in this manner. Rāfi‘ said: We hope to encounter the enemy tomorrow and fear that using our weapons for slaughtering might dull their edges, while we are in urgent need of slaughtering, yet we have no knives. Can we slaughter using hollow reeds? The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whatever causes the blood to flow abundantly, and Allah's name is mentioned over it, then eat it—except for teeth and claws. I will tell you about this: as for teeth, they are bones, and as for claws, they are used by the polytheists of Abyssinia.

Lessons

Manifesting a glimpse of the Prophet’s humility through his walking at the rear of the army, his care for his Companions, his checking on their well-being, and his acceptance of their advice, may Allah be pleased with them.
The leader's disciplining his subjects and soldiers, as the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) disciplined them for their haste and actions before seeking his permission. Their consequence was deprivation of what they had wanted.
The Companions' quick response to the commands of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him).
The prohibition of taking from the spoils of war until they are distributed.
Justice, especially in the context of Jihad against the enemies and the disbelievers, for it is one of the causes of victory and triumph over the enemies.
An-Nawawi said: If a domestic animal such as a camel, cow, horse, or sheep becomes wild, or if it strays away, it is treated like a game, and it becomes lawful by shooting.
The slaughter of an animal is required to make it lawful to eat. Conditions to be fulfilled in the animal: 1. It must be permissible to eat. 2. It must be within one's ability to capture; an animal that cannot be captured is treated like a game. 3. It must be a land animal; however, for sea animals, slaughter is not required.
Conditions for the validity of slaughter: 1. The slaughterer must be qualified, meaning he should be rational, discerning, Muslim, or from the People of the Book. 2. The name of Allah must be mentioned at the beginning of the slaughter. 3. The slaughtering tool must be suitable, i.e., it must be sharp and made of any material except for teeth and nails. 4. The slaughter should be carried out by cutting the windpipe, the pharynx, and the jugular veins of the animal.

Explanation in Arabic

أخبر رافع بن خديج رضي الله عنه أنهم كانوا مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بذي الحُليفة، فأصاب الناس جوع، وقد غَنِموا من المشركين إبلًا وغنمًا، فعجلوا قبل أن تقسم الغنيمة فذبحوا منها، ونصبوا القدور، دون أن يستأذنوا النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، وكان صلى الله عليه وسلم يسير في أُخريات الناس، فلما علم صلى الله عليه وسلم أمر بالقدور، فقُلِبت بما فيها من مَرَق، ثم قسم المغنم بينهم، فجعل عشرة من الغنم بمقابل بعير واحد، فهرب منها بعير، فعجزوا عن لحاقه وإدراكه، وكان الخيل قليلًا، فرماه رجل منهم بسهم، فحبسه الله لهم، فقال صلى الله عليه وسلم:

إن لهذه البهائم الأليفة طِباع كطباع الوحش، فما غلبكم منها وعجزتم عن إمساكه فاصنعوا به هكذا.

فقال رافع: إنا نرجو أن نقابل العدو غدًا ونخاف أن يضر بحد أسلحتنا ذبْحِنا بها والحاجة ماسّة للذكاة، وليست معنا سكين له، أفنذكي بعيدان القصب المجوفة؟

قال صلى الله عليه وسلم: ما أنهر الدم وأَسَالَه وصبَّه بكثرة، وذُكر اسم الله عليه فكلوه، غير السن والظفر، وسأحدثكم عن ذلك: أما السن فعظم، وأما الظفر فأهل الحبشة الكفار يستخدمونه.

إظهار جانب من تواضعه صلى الله عليه وسلم بسيره خلف الجيش، ورعايته لأصحابه، وتفقّده لهم، وقبوله لنصح أصحابه رضي الله عنهم.
تأديب الإمام لرعيته وجنده، فقد أدبهم النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم على هذه العجلة والتصرف، قبل أخذ إذنه، فكان جزاؤهم حرمانهم مما أرادوا.
سرعة استجابة الصحابة رضي الله عنهم لأوامر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم.
النهي عن الأخذ من الغنيمة حتى تُقسم.
العدل لاسيما في موطن جهاد الأعداء والكفار؛ لأنه من أسباب النصر والظفر بالأعداء.
قال النووي: إذا توحّش إنسي بأن ند بعير أو بقرة أو فرس أو شردت شاة أو غيرها فهو كالصيد، فيَحِلُّ بالرمي.
تجب ذكاة الحيوان ليحل أكله، والحيوان يشترط فيه: ١- أن يكون مباحًا أكله، ٢- أن يكون مقدورًا عليه، أما غير المقدور عليه فحكمه حكم الصيد، ٣- أن يكون حيوانًا برِّيًا؛ أما الحيوان البحري فلا تشترط له الذكاة.
شروط صحة الذكاة : 1- أهلية الذابح المذكي بأن يكون عاقلًا مميزًا مسلمًا أو كتابيًّا، 2- أن يذكر اسم الله عند بداية الذبح (الذكاة)، 3- صلاحية الآلة للذكاة بأن تكون أداة الذكاة المستخدمة حادة من أي مادة ما عدا السن والظفر، 4- أن تكون الذكاة محل الذبح والنحر في المقدور عليه بقطع المريء والحلقوم والودجين.
