أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبَايَةَ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏

"‏ مَا أَنْهَرَ الدَّمَ وَذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللَّهِ فَكُلْ إِلاَّ بِسِنٍّ أَوْ ظُفْرٍ ‏"

It was narrated from Rafi bin Khadij that the Messenger of Allah said:

"If the blood is shed and the name of Allah is mentioned, then eat, unless (it is slaughtered) with teeth or nails."

"You may eat an animal which is slaughtered by any means which causes the blood to gush out as long as Allah's Name is mentioned over it, except for the tooth and the claw (not allowed to be used). The tooth is a bone and the claw is the knife of the Abyssinians (Ethiopians)." Agreed upon.

"مَا أُنْهِرَ اَلدَّمُ, وَذُكِرَ اِسْمُ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ, فَكُلْ لَيْسَ اَلسِّنَّ وَالظُّفْرَ; أَمَّا اَلسِّنُّ; فَعَظْمٌ; وَأَمَّا اَلظُّفُرُ: فَمُدَى اَلْحَبَشِ"
