عَنْ شَدَّادِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ ، قَالَ: ثِنْتَانِ حَفِظْتُهُمَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قال: «إِنَّ اللهَ كَتَبَ الْإِحْسَانَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، فَإِذَا قَتَلْتُمْ فَأَحْسِنُوا الْقِتْلَةَ، وَإِذَا ذَبَحْتُمْ فَأَحْسِنُوا الذَّبْحَ، وَلْيُحِدَّ أَحَدُكُمْ شَفْرَتَهُ، فَلْيُرِحْ ذَبِيحَتَهُ».
Shaddād ibn Aws said: I memorized two qualities from God’s Messenger (peace be upon him); he said:
1. God has certainly prescribed proficiency in all things.
2. Therefore, when you kill, kill well;
3. and when you slaughter, slaughter well. Let each of you sharpen his blade and place his animal comfortably’.
