Saeed bin Jubair says that once, on a road in Madinah Munawwarah, Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) passed by some people and saw that they had tied up a chicken and were practicing their aim on it. Upon this, Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade mutilating animals.
