Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ أَسِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْخَثْعَمِيِّ عَنْ فَرْوَةَ بْنِ مُجَاهِدٍ اللَّخْمِيِّ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَ
الَ نَزَلْنَا عَلَى حِصْنِ سِنَانٍ بِأَرْضِ الرُّومِ مَعَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ فَضَيَّقَ النَّاسُ الْمَنَازِلَ وَقَطَعُوا الطَّرِيقَ فَقَالَ مُعَاذٌ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَزْوَةَ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَضَيَّقَ النَّاسُ الطَّرِيقَ فَبَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُنَادِيًا فَنَادَى مَنْ ضَيَّقَ مَنْزِلًا أَوْ قَطَعَ طَرِيقًا فَلَا جِهَادَ لَهُ

al-Ḥakam ibn Nāfiʿ narrated to us: Ismāʿīl ibn ʿAyyāsh narrated to us, from Asīd ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Khathʿamī, from Farwah ibn Mujāhid al-Lakhmī, from Sahl ibn Muʿādh al-Juhanī, from his father [Muʿādh ibn Anas al-Juhanī] (رضي الله عنه) who said: We encamped at the fortress of Sinān with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ during a siege, and the people struck their mounts with their swords. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ sent a caller to proclaim: 'Do not do this. If you need to slaughter them, then slaughter them by the throat.' He also said: 'Verily, Allāh has prescribed excellence (iḥsān) in all things. So when you kill, kill well; and when you slaughter, slaughter well. Let each of you sharpen his blade and let him give comfort to the animal he slaughters.'
