It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I used to roast the belly of a goat (or its tripe) for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) would eat from it and then go out to the prayer (without performing ablution again).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I used to roast the belly (meat) of a goat for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while he (peace and blessings be upon him) had already performed ablution for the prayer. He (peace and blessings be upon him) would eat it and then go out to the prayer (without performing ablution again). This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Safwan bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw me separating meat from the bone with my hand (tearing it off), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "O Safwan!" I said: Here I am at your service. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bring the meat close to your mouth (and bite it off with your teeth), for that is the more enjoyable, pleasant and easily digested way." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah and Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not eat the sharitah (slaughtered animal), for it is the slaughter of Satan." Ibn al-Mubarak (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Sharitah" means that the animal's throat (the windpipe and the gullet) is not cut completely, but merely a cut is made in the skin and it is left until its life departs through that very wound. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the devils used to whisper into the hearts of their allies that they should say (to the Muslims): What Allah has slaughtered (that is, an animal that died by itself) you do not eat, yet what you slaughter yourselves you eat? So Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed this verse: "And do not eat of that upon which the name of Allah has not been mentioned (at the time of slaughter)." [Surah al-An'am: 121] This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man's she-camel was about to die, so he slaughtered it with a wooden peg (watad). I asked him: Did you slaughter it with an iron blade? He said: No, rather with wood. Then that man asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about it, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to eat its meat. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, and its chain is also sahih on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim). I did not rule it sahih on their condition only because Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated it in "al-Muwatta" from Zayd bin Aslam in mursal form (without the Companion).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that a wolf wounded a goat with its teeth, so the people slaughtered it with a sharp stone (marwah), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted permission to eat it. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The slaughter of the fetus (the young in its mother's womb) is the slaughter of its mother." (That is, the lawful slaughter of the mother suffices for the young in her womb as well.) This hadith has been corroborated (mutaba'ah), from among the trustworthy narrators, by Ubaydullah bin Abi Ziyad al-Qaddah al-Makki as well:

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The slaughter of the fetus is the slaughter of its mother."

This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it. This narration is known only through Ibn Abi Layla and Hammad bin Shu'ayb from Abu al-Zubayr. And it has also been narrated with a sahih chain from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him):
