Hadith 813
۞
4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from abu Hashim al-Ja’fariy from his father from Humran ibn ’ A‘yan who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘When you slaughter an animal, do not tie down all the legs, do not push the knife under the throat and veins then turn it to cut upward. You must allow the bird to remain loose especially, but if it falls in a well or a hole, then do not use it for food or feed; you do not know if the fall has killed it or slaughtering. If it is a sheep, then hold it by its fur or wool and do not hold its legs. In the case of cows tie down the front legs and leave the tail. In the case of camels tie down its hoofs to its armpit and leave its legs. If a bird turns loose when you want to slaughter it and escapes and flies away, you can shoot it down with your arrow, if it falls down it then is like hunting.’”
عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هَاشِمٍ الْجَعْفَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حُمْرَانَ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ
سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الذَّبْحِ فَقَالَ إِذَا ذَبَحْتَ فَأَرْسِلْ وَ لَا تَكْتِفْ وَ لَا تَقْلِبِ السِّكِّينَ لِتُدْخِلَهَا مِنْ تَحْتِ الْحُلْقُومِ وَ تَقْطَعَهُ إِلَى فَوْقُ وَ الْإِرْسَالُ لِلطَّيْرِ خَاصَّةً فَإِنْ تَرَدَّى فِي جُبٍّ أَوْ وَهْدَةٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ فَلَا تَأْكُلْهُ وَ لَا تُطْعِمْهُ فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَدْرِي التَّرَدِّي قَتَلَهُ أَوِ الذَّبْحُوَ إِنْ كَانَ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ فَأَمْسِكْ صُوفَهُ أَوْ شَعْرَهُ وَ لَا تُمْسِكَنَّ يَداً وَ لَا رِجْلًا وَ أَمَّا الْبَقَرُ فَاعْقِلْهَا وَ أَطْلِقِ الذَّنَبَ وَ أَمَّا الْبَعِيرُ فَشُدَّ أَخْفَافَهُ إِلَى آبَاطِهِ وَ أَطْلِقْ رِجْلَيْهِ وَ إِنْ أَفْلَتَكَ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الطَّيْرِ وَ أَنْتَ تُرِيدُ ذَبْحَهُ أَوْ نَدَّ عَلَيْكَ فَارْمِهِ بِسَهْمِكَ فَإِذَا هُوَ سَقَطَ فَذَكِّهِ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الصَّيْدِ .
