It is narrated from Hazrat 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! (peace and blessings be upon him) We were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at Dhul-Hulaifah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) received some goats and camels as spoils of war. People quickly put pots on the fire. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) 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 (peace and blessings be upon him) 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 (peace and blessings be upon him) 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.”
