It was narrated from Sa'eed bin Al-Jubair that a relative of 'Abdullah bin Al-Mughaffal threw small pebbles and he told him not to do that. He said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) forbade the throwing of small pebbles and said: 'It does not kill the game or kill (or hurt) the enemy, rather it breaks a tooth or puts out an eye."' Then he did it again and he said: "I told you that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) forbade it, then you throw small pebbles again. I will never speak to you."

وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، أَنَّ قَرِيبًا لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ خَذَفَ ، قَالَ : فَنَهَاهُ ، وَقَالَ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنِ الْخَذْفِ ، وَقَالَ : إِنَّهَا لاَ تَصِيدُ صَيْدًا ، وَلاَ تَنْكَأُ عَدُوًّا ، وَلَكِنَّهَا تَكْسِرُ السِّنَّ ، وَتَفْقَأُ الْعَيْنَ ، قَالَ : فَعَادَ ، فَقَالَ : أُحَدِّثُكَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْهُ ، ثُمَّ تَخْذِفُ ، لاَ أُكَلِّمُكَ أَبَدًا.

It was narrated that Shaddad bin Aws said: "There are two things that I memorized from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w). He (s.a.w) said: 'Allah has prescribed proficiency in all things, so if you kill, kill well, and if you slaughter, slaughter well. Let one of you sharpen his blade and spare suffering to the animal he slaughters."'

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الأَشْعَثِ ، عَنْ شَدَّادِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ ، قَالَ: ثِنْتَانِ حَفِظْتُهُمَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَتَبَ الإِحْسَانَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ ، فَإِذَا قَتَلْتُمْ فَأَحْسِنُوا الْقِتْلَةَ ، وَإِذَا ذَبَحْتُمْ فَأَحْسِنُوا الذَّبْحَ ، وَلْيُحِدَّ أَحَدُكُمْ شَفْرَتَهُ ، فَلْيُرِحْ ذَبِيحَتَهُ.

Hisham bin Zaid bin Anas bin Malik said: "I entered, the house of Al-Hakam bin Ayyub along with my grandfather Anas bin Malik, and there were some people who had made a hen a target and were shooting arrows at her. Anas said: 'The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) forbade taking animals as targets."'

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ هِشَامَ بْنَ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : دَخَلْتُ مَعَ جَدِّي أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ دَارَ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ ، فَإِذَا قَوْمٌ قَدْ نَصَبُوا دَجَاجَةً يَرْمُونَهَا ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ أَنَسٌ: نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ تُصْبَرَ الْبَهَائِمُ.

It was narrated that Sa'eed bin Jubair said: "Ibn 'Umar passed by a group of people who had taken a hen as a target and were shooting at her. When they saw Ibn 'Umar, they scattered, and Ibn 'Umar said: 'Who did this? The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) cursed the one who does this."'

وحَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ ، وَأَبُو كَامِلٍ ، وَاللَّفْظُ لأَبِي كَامِلٍ ، قَالاَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، قَالَ: مَرَّ ابْنُ عُمَرَ بِنَفَرٍ قَدْ نَصَبُوا دَجَاجَةً يَتَرَامَوْنَهَا ، فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا ابْنَ عُمَرَ تَفَرَّقُوا عَنْهَا ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ: مَنْ فَعَلَ هَذَا ؟ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَعَنَ مَنْ فَعَلَ هَذَا.

It was narrated that Sa'eed bin Jubair said: "Ibn 'Umar passed by some young men of Quraish who had taken a bird as a target and were shooting at it, and they had agreed to give every arrow that missed to the owner of the bird. When they saw Ibn 'Umar, they scattered. Ibn 'Umar said: 'Who did this? May Allah curse the one who did this. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) cursed the one who takes any living being as a target."'

وحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، قَالَ: مَرَّ ابْنُ عُمَرَ بِفِتْيَانٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ قَدْ نَصَبُوا طَيْرًا ، وَهُمْ يَرْمُونَهُ ، وَقَدْ جَعَلُوا لِصَاحِبِ الطَّيْرِ كُلَّ خَاطِئَةٍ مِنْ نَبْلِهِمْ ، فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا ابْنَ عُمَرَ تَفَرَّقُوا ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ: مَنْ فَعَلَ هَذَا لَعَنِ اللَّهُ ، مَنْ فَعَلَ هَذَا ؟ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَعَنَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ شَيْئًا فِيهِ الرُّوحُ غَرَضًا.
