Jami` at-Tirmidhi #1759

The Book on Jihad

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنِ التَّحْرِيشِ بَيْنَ الْبَهَائِمِ ‏.‏ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ‏.‏ وَيُقَالُ هَذَا أَصَحُّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ قُطْبَةَ ‏.‏
"The Prophet (ﷺ) prohibited instigating fights between beasts." And he did not mention "from Ibn 'Abbas" in it. It is said that this is more correct that the (previous) narration of Qutbah.
Narrated by Abu Yahya reported from Mujahid:

Context

In this narration, the Prophet (ﷺ) prohibits instigating fights between animals. This reflects a broader ethical principle regarding compassion and the humane treatment of all creatures. The takeaway is a reminder of the responsibility humans have towards animals and the importance of promoting peace rather than conflict.

Modern Application

In modern life, this principle can be applied by advocating for animal rights and promoting humane treatment in various contexts, such as in entertainment or agriculture. It encourages individuals to foster environments where animals are treated with respect and care.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Ethics of Interaction because it emphasizes the importance of compassion and humane treatment towards animals, discouraging any form of instigation or harm.
