English Translation
It was narrated from Shaddad bin Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:“Allah has prescribed Al-Ihsan (proficiency) in all things. So if you kill, then kill well, and if you slaughter, then slaughter well. Let one of you sharpen his blade and spare suffering to the animal he slaughters.”
