حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبَايَةَ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِذِي الْحُلَيْفَةِ مِنْ تِهَامَةَ، فَأَصَبْنَا غَنَمًا وَإِبِلًا. قَالَ: فَعَجَّلَ الْقَوْمُ، فَأَغْلَوْا بِهَا الْقُدُورَ، فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَمَرَ بِهَا، فَأُكْفِئَتْ، ثُمَّ قَالَ (١) : " عَدْلُ عَشْرَةٍ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ بِجَزُورٍ ". قَالَ: ثُمَّ إِنَّ بَعِيرًا نَدَّ وَلَيْسَ فِي الْقَوْمِ إِلَّا خَيْلٌ يَسِيرَةٌ، فَرَمَاهُ رَجُلٌ بِسَهْمٍ، فَحَبَسَهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ لِهَذِهِ الْبَهَائِمِ أَوَابِدَ كَأَوَابِدِ الْوَحْشِ، فَمَا غَلَبَكُمْ مِنْهَا فَاصْنَعُوا بِهِ هَكَذَا ". قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَافِعُ بْنُ خَدِيجٍ: إِنَّا لَنَرْجُو أوْ إِنَّا (٢) لَنَخَافُ أَنْ نَلْقَى الْعَدُوَّ غَدًا وَلَيْسَ مَعَنَا مُدًى، أَفَنَذْبَحُ بِالْقَصَبِ؟ قَالَ: " أَعْجِلْ أَوْ أَرِنْ (٣) ، مَا أَنْهَرَ الدَّمَ وَذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ، فَكُلْ، لَيْسَ السِّنَّ وَالظُّفُرَ، وَسَأُحَدِّثُكُمْ عَنْ ذَلِكَ: أَمَّا السِّنُّ فَعَظْمٌ، وَأَمَّا الظُّفُرُ، فَمُدَى الْحَبَشَةِ " (٤)، ،

English translation
It is narrated from Rafi’ bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I submitted in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, O Messenger of Allah! (ﷺ) We were with the Prophet (ﷺ) at Dhul-Hulaifah. The Prophet (ﷺ) received some goats and camels as spoils of war. People quickly put pots on the fire. The Prophet (ﷺ) came and ordered the pots to be overturned. Then he said, “One camel is equivalent to ten goats.” Among those camels, one camel ran away. People tried very hard to catch it but could not succeed. Finally, out of frustration, a man aimed and shot an arrow at it and managed to control it. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “These animals also sometimes become wild just as wild animals become furious. When you are overpowered by an animal, do the same with it.” (They asked) “Tomorrow we may face our enemy (among the animals), and we do not have any knife with us?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Other than teeth and nails, whatever causes the animal’s blood to flow and Allah’s name is mentioned over it, you may eat it. And let me also tell you the reason: teeth are bone, and nails are the knives of the Abyssinians.”
