Saeed bin Jubair (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I was passing through a street of Madinah Munawwarah with Sayyiduna Ibn Umar and Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them). We saw that some young men had tied up a chicken and were practicing their aim on it. At this, Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) became angry and said: Who is doing this? Immediately, all the young men scattered to the right and left. Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the person who mutilates an animal.
