We slaughtered a horse during the lifetime of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and ate it.

On the Day of the battle of Khaibar, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) made donkey’s meat unlawful and allowed the
eating of horse flesh.

While I was with Ibn `Umar, we passed by a group of young men who had tied a hen and started
shooting at it. When they saw Ibn `Umar, they dispersed, leaving it. On that Ibn `Umar said, “Who has
done this? The Prophet (ﷺ) cursed the one who did so.”Narrated Ibn `Umar:The Prophet (ﷺ) cursed the one who did Muthla to an animal (i e., cut its limbs or some other part of its
body while it is still alive).

The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade An-Nuhba and Al-Muthla.

I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) eating chicken.

Anas and I went to Al-Hakam bin Aiyub. Anas saw some boys shooting at a tied hen. Anas said, “The
Prophet has forbidden the shooting of tied or confined animals.”

that he entered upon Yahya bin Sa`id while one of Yahya’s sons was aiming at a hen after tying it. Ibn
`Umar walked to it and untied it. Then he brought it and the boy and said. “Prevent your boys from
tying the birds for the sake of killing them, as I have heard the Prophet (ﷺ) forbidding the killing of an
animal or other living thing after tying them.”

We slaughtered a horse (by Nahr) during the lifetime of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and ate it.

I said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! We are going to face the enemy tomorrow and we do not have knives.” He
said, “Hurry up (in killing the animal). If the killing tool causes blood to flow out, and if Allah’s Name
is mentioned, eat (of the slaughtered animal). But do not slaughter with a tooth or a nail. I will tell you
why: As for the tooth, it is a bone; and as for the nail, it is the knife of Ethiopians.” Then we got some
camels and sheep as war booty, and one of those camels ran away, whereupon a man shot it with an
arrow and stopped it. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Of these camels there are some which are as wild as wild
beasts, so if one of them (runs away and) makes you tired, treat it in this manner.”
