حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَبَايَةَ بْنِ رَافِعٍ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَيْسَ لَنَا مُدًى. فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَا أَنْهَرَ الدَّمَ وَذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللَّهِ فَكُلْ، لَيْسَ الظُّفُرَ وَالسِّنَّ، أَمَّا الظُّفُرُ فَمُدَى الْحَبَشَةِ، وَأَمَّا السِّنُّ فَعَظْمٌ ‏"‏. وَنَدَّ بَعِيرٌ فَحَبَسَهُ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ لِهَذِهِ الإِبِلِ أَوَابِدَ كَأَوَابِدِ الْوَحْشِ فَمَا غَلَبَكُمْ مِنْهَا فَاصْنَعُوا هَكَذَا ‏"‏.

Narrator: Rafi` bin Khadij

English translation
Narrated Rafi` bin Khadij: that he said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! We have no knife." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "if the killing tool causes blood to gush out, and if Allah's Name is mentioned, eat (of the slaughtered animal). But do not slaughter with a nail or a tooth, for the nail is the knife of Ethiopians and a tooth is a bone." Suddenly a camel ran away and it was stopped (with an arrow). The Prophet (ﷺ) then said, "Of these camels there are some which are as wild as wild beasts; so if one of them runs away from you and you cannot catch it, treat it in this manner (i.e. shoot it with an arrow)
বাংলা অনুবাদ
রাফি‘ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেনঃ হে আল্লাহর রাসূল! আমাদের কাছে কোন ছুরি নেই। নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম উত্তর দিলেনঃ যে জিনিস রক্ত প্রবাহিত করে এবং যার উপর আল্লাহরনাম নেয়া হয়, তা খাও। তবে দাঁত ও নখ দিয়ে নয়। নখ হল হাবশীদের ছুরি আর দাঁত হল হাড়। তখন একটি উট পালিয়ে গেল। তীর নিক্ষেপ করে সেটিকে আটকানো হল। তখন নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বললেনঃ এ সকল উটের মধ্যে বুনো জানোয়ারের মত পালিয়ে যাবার অভ্যাস আছে। কাজেই তাত্থেকে কোনটি যদি তোমাদের আয়ত্বের বাইরে চলে যায়, তাহলে তার সঙ্গে তেমন ব্যবহার কর। [২৪৮৮] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনী- ৫০৯৭, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন)
