Hadith 481:28
Sa'id ibn 'Amir narrated to us, he said: Shu'bah narrated to us, he said: Sa'id ibn Masruq narrated to us, from 'Abayah ibn Rifa'ah ibn Rafi' ibn Khadij, from his grandfather Rafi' ibn Khadij, who said: I said: "O Messenger of Allah, we are meeting the enemy tomorrow and we do not have knives." He said: "Whatever causes blood to flow and the name of Allah is mentioned over it, then eat it, except for the tooth and the nail. And I will tell you why: as for the tooth, it is a bone; and as for the nail, it is the knife of the Abyssinians." He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) obtained some spoils, and a camel ran away from them. They chased it but could not catch it, so a man shot it with an arrow and stopped it. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "These camels—or he said: livestock—have wild tendencies like wild animals, so whatever of them overcomes you, do to it like this."
حدثنا سعيد بن عامر قال: حدثنا شعبة، قال: حدثنا سعيد بن مسروق، عن عباية بن رفاعة بن رافع بن خديج، عن جده رافع بن خديج، قال: قلت: يا رسول الله، إنا لاقو العدو غدا وليس معنا مدى؟ قال: " ما أنهر الدم وذكر اسم الله عليه فكل، ليس السن والظفر، وسأحدثك : أما السن فعظم، وأما الظفر، فمدى الحبشة " قال: وأصاب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم نهبا، فند منها بعير، فسعوا له، فلم يستطيعوه، فرماه رجل بسهم، فحبسه، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " إن لهذه الإبل - أو قال: النعم - أوابد كأوابد الوحش، فما غلبكم فاصنعوا به هكذا "
