Saeed bin Amr says: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) went to Yahya bin Saeed, and one of his sons had tied up a chicken and was using it as a target. Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) went and untied the chicken, and bringing the chicken and the boy before Yahya, said: Forbid your son from tying up this bird and making it a target for killing, because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade killing an animal by tying it up. If you want to slaughter it, then slaughter it according to the prescribed method.
