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
