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 Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man had laid a goat down in order to slaughter it, and he was sharpening his knife (in that state). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you want to make it die many deaths? Why did you not sharpen your knife before laying it down?!" This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "So mention the name of Allah over them when lined up" [Surah al-Hajj: 36] that (it means the animal should be) standing on three legs with one leg tied, and (while slaughtering one should say): 'Bismillahi wallahu akbar, Allahumma minka wa ilayk' "In the name of Allah, and Allah is the Greatest. O Allah, this is from You alone and (sacrificed) for You alone." 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 Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) concerning a man who slaughters and forgets to say the tasmiyah (the name of Allah): he said: He may eat it.

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 Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "And do not eat of that over which the name of Allah has not been mentioned" [Surah al-An'am: 121] . He said: The polytheists disputed (with the Companions) and said: What you yourselves kill (that is, slaughter) you eat, but what Allah kills (that is, carrion) you do not eat. This hadith has an authentic chain (sahih al-isnad), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Any person who kills a sparrow or any creature bigger than it without its right, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will surely question him about it on the Day of Resurrection." It was said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! What is its right? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Its right is that it be slaughtered and eaten, not that its head be cut off and thrown away." This hadith has an authentic chain (sahih al-isnad), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he was passing through one of the streets of Madinah when he saw that some young men had tied up a hen as a target and were shooting at it (with arrows or stones). The narrator said: He became angry and asked: Who has done this? At that they all dispersed. Then Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who mutilates a living creature (by making it a target or tormenting it). This hadith, with these words, is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it in this context.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Abu al-Haytham bin al-Tayyihan (may Allah be pleased with him): "Beware of the milch animal (do not slaughter it); slaughter a young kid for us." So Abu al-Haytham (may Allah be pleased with him) instructed his wife, and she kneaded dough, while Abu al-Haytham (may Allah be pleased with him) cut the meat, cooked it and roasted it. This hadith has an authentic chain (sahih al-isnad), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade slaughtering milch animals, and bargaining over goods (in the market) before sunrise.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There are forty traits, the highest of which is giving someone a she-goat to drink its milk. No servant acts upon any one of them, hoping for its reward and affirming the truth of Allah's promise, except that Allah Almighty will admit him into Paradise because of it." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, and they (the two Shaykhs) did not record it.
