Rafi‘ b. Khadij told that he said, “ Messenger of Allah , we shall meet the enemy tomorrow and we have no knives; may we kill animals with canes?”* He replied, “When Allah’s name is mentioned you may eat what is killed by anything which causes the blood to flow, except tooth and claw. I shall tell you about it. The tooth is a bone and the claw is the knife of the Abyssinians.” We got some camels and sheep as booty, and when one of the camels ran away a man shot an arrow at it and prevented it from escaping, whereupon Allah's Messenger ﷺ said, “Among camels there are some which bolt like wild animals, so when any of them get the better of you do thus to them.” (Bukhari and Muslim.)
