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.
وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسلم: «مَا من دَابَّة إِلَّا وَقَدْ ذَكَّاهَا اللَّهُ لِبَنِي آدَمَ» . رَوَاهُ الدَّارَقُطْنِيّ
Jabir reported God’s messenger as saying, “There is no creature in the sea which God has not slaughtered for the sons of Adam.”*
*A way of saying that fish are lawful food although they are not slaughtered.
Daraqutni transmitted it.
