Hadith 5285
In the evening of the day of the conquest of Khaibar, the army made fires (for cooking). The Prophet (ﷺ)
said, "For what have you made these fires?" They said, "For cooking the meat of domestic donkeys."
He said, "Throw away what is in the cooking pots and break the pots." A man from the people got up
and said, "Shall we throw the contents of the cooking pots and then wash the pots (instead of breaking
them)?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Yes, you can do either.'
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 72, Hadith 23

I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! We are living in the land of the people of the
Scripture, and we take our meals in their utensils, and there is game in that land and I hunt with my
bow and with my trained hound and with my untrained hound." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "As for your saying
that you are in the land of people of the Scripture, you should not eat in their utensils unless you find
no alternative, in which case you must wash the utensils and then eat in them As for your saying that
you are in the land of game, if you hunt something with your bow, mention Allah's Name (while
hunting the game) and eat; and if you hunt something with your trained hound, mention Allah's Name
on sending and eat; and if you hunt something with your untrained hound and get it alive, slaughter it
and you can eat of it." Sahih al-Bukhari Book 72, Hadith 22

We were with the Prophet (ﷺ) in Dhul-Hulaifa and there the people were struck with severe hunger. Then
we got camels and sheep as war booty (and slaughtered them). The Prophet (ﷺ) was behind all the people.
The people hurried and fixed the cooking pots (for cooking) but the Prophet (ﷺ) came there and ordered
that the cooking pots be turned upside down. Then he distributed the animals, regarding ten sheep as
equal to one camel. One of the camels ran away and there were a few horses with the people. They
chased the camel but they got tired, whereupon a man shot it with an arrow whereby Allah stopped it.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Among these animals some are as wild as wild beasts, so if one of them runs away
from you, treat it in this way." I said. "We hope, or we are afraid that tomorrow we will meet the
enemy and we have no knives, shall we slaughter (our animals) with canes?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If the
killing tool causes blood to gush out and if Allah's Name is mentioned, eat (of the slaughterer animal).
But do not slaughter with a tooth or a nail. I am telling you why: A tooth is a bone, and the nail is the
knife of Ethiopians." Sahih al-Bukhari Book 72, Hadith 24
