Mishkat al-Masabih #3916
Game and Animals Which May Be Slaughtered
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ أَحَدُنَا أَصَابَ صَيْدًا وَلَيْسَ مَعَهُ سِكِّينٌ أَيَذْبَحُ بِالْمَرْوَةِ وَشِقَّةِ الْعَصَا؟ فَقَالَ: «أَمْرِرِ الدَّمَ بِمَ شِئْتَ وَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ اللَّهِ» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد وَالنَّسَائِيّ
‘Adi b. Hatim told that he said, “Tell me, messenger of God; when one of us catches game and has no knife, may he cut its throat with a flint and a splinter of stick?” He replied, “Cause the blood to flow with whatever you take and mention God’s name.”
Abu Dawud and Nasa’i transmitted it.
