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’.
Persevere in doing good; for God loves those who do good.
(2: 195)
God enjoins justice, kindness [to all], and generosity to one’s kindred; and He forbids all that is shameful, all reprehensible conduct and aggression. He admonishes you so that you may take heed.
(16: 90)
