سورة الأحزاب

51. You (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) can postpone (the turn of) whom you will of them (your wives), and you may receive whom you will. And whomsoever you desire of those whom you have set aside (her turn temporarily), it is no sin on you (to receive her again): that is better that they may be comforted and not grieved, and may all be pleased with what you give them. Allâh knows what is in your hearts. And Allâh is Ever All-Knowing, Most Forbearing.

﴿ وَقَالَتِ ٱمۡرَأَتُ فِرۡعَوۡنَ قُرَّتُ عَيۡنٖ لِّي وَلَكَۖ لَا تَقۡتُلُوهُ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَنفَعَنَآ أَوۡ نَتَّخِذَهُۥ وَلَدٗا وَهُمۡ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ ﴾

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If anyone kills a gecko with the first strike will have such-and-such reward; and anyone kills it with the second strike will have such-and-such reward, lesser than the first; and anyone kills it with the third strike will have such-and-such reward, lesser than the second.” Another narration reads: “Anyone kills a gecko with the first strike will have one hundred good deeds recorded for him; and with the second strike lesser than that, and with the third strike lesser than that.”

Narrated by Muslim

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) encourages us to kill geckos. He informs us that anyone kills it with the first blow will have one hundred good deeds written for him; and anyone kills it with the second blow will have less than that (written for him); and whoever kills it with the third blow will have less than that (written for him). The wisdom behind killing geckos is that it was blowing into the fire in which Ibrahīm (peace be upon him) was thrown, and it is harmful and poisonous.

Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade (eating the flesh of) all carnivorous animals that have fangs and all birds that have talons.

Narrated by Muslim

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade eating any predatory animal that hunts with its fangs and any bird that cuts and holds with its claws.

Ibn Abi ‘Ammār reported: I said to Jābir: "Are hyenas a type of game (animal)?" Jābir replied: ‘Yes.’ I asked: "Did the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say that?" He replied: 'Yes.'

Narrated by Ibn Majah - Narrated by At-Termedhy - An-Nasaa’i - Narrated by Abu Daoud - Narrated by Ahmad - Ad-Daarimi

The Tābi‘i Ibn Abi ‘Ammār (may Allah have mercy upon him) asked Jābir ibn ‘Abdullāh (may Allah be pleased with him) whether hyenas may be hunted and eaten. Jābir told him that is permissible. Ibn Abi ‘Ammār wanted to make sure whether what Jābir had said had been his own opinion or whether it was something that he had heard from the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). Jābir confirmed that he had heard it from the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him).

Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade riding the camel which feeds on dung as well as drinking its milk.

Narrated by Ibn Majah - Narrated by At-Termedhy - Narrated by Abu Daoud

This Hadīth illustrates forbiddance of riding a camel or any other animal that feeds on dung, dirt, and filth or drinking its milk. The reason is that the flesh and milk of such animals is nurtured with filth, so they are not pure. However, if they are given fodder for three or more days, their meat and milk become lawful for consumption.

Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: Umm Hufayd, Ibn ‘Abbās' aunt, sent some dried yogurt, ghee (butter), and a mastigure (sand lizard) to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) as a gift. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) ate the dried yogurt and the ghee, but left the mastigure, because he disliked it. Ibn ‘Abbās said: “The mastigure was eaten at the table of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and if it had been unlawful to eat, it could not have been eaten at his table.”

Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim

Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) says that his maternal aunt, Umm Hufayd, sent the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) some food that consisted of dried yogurt, ghee, and a mastigure. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) ate it all except the mastigure, because he had an aversion to it; he disliked it. His natural disposition, however, does not affect the ruling of eating of this animal. He explained elsewhere that the mastigure was not a common food in his land. So he abstained from eating it, not for religious reasons, but because he had a natural aversion to eating it. Ibn ‘Abbās deduced from this Hadīth that the mastigure is permissible to eat, because it was eaten at the Prophet's table. If it had been unlawful to eat, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) would have forbidden it.

Abu Tha‘labah (my Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you shoot your arrow and it disappears from sight and you find it later, you may eat it (the game) unless it smells bad."

Narrated by Muslim

This Hadīth stated that if a hunter fires an arrow or something similar, and it hits the game but it disappears from his sight, if he finds it later without any trace of something causing its death other than his arrow, he may eat it unless it has reached the point of decay, thus becoming impure and harmful to human health.

‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported: Some people said: "O Messenger of Allah, meat was brought to us by some people, and we are not sure whether the name of Allah has been mentioned on it or not (at the time of slaughtering the animals)." The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Mention the name of Allah upon it and eat it."

Narrated by Bukhari

In this Hadīth, ‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) says that some people came to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and asked him about meat that they had received from Muslims who were new converts and were not yet familiar with the rulings of Islam. It was not known whether or not they had mentioned the name of Allah when they slaughtered the animals. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) told those people to mention the name of Allah before eating the meat. He said in another narration: "You mention the name of Allah and eat." It is thus evident that he wanted to say to them, in a reproaching tone: you should not care for what others do if the thing is apparently lawful. Rather, you should care for what you yourselves do, so mention the name of Allah and then eat. Accordingly, if a Jew or a Christian offers meat of an animal that he has slaughtered to a Muslim, the Muslim should not ask if the animal was slaughtered in the Islamic manner. This question is irrelevant, for it goes too far. This does not mean that the slaughtered animals regarding which one is sure that the name of Allah was not mentioned over them are lawful.

Ka‘b ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: A woman slaughtered a sheep with a sharp stone. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about it and he ordered that it be eaten.

Narrated by Bukhari

In this Hadīth, Ka‘b ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) tells that a woman slaughtered a sheep with a stone. This woman was grazing some sheep near Mount Uhud and a wolf attacked one of her sheep without killing it. She chased the wolf away, took a sharp stone and slaughtered the sheep with it. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was then asked about what she had done, and he permitted eating that sheep.

Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: We chased a rabbit at Marr Azh-Zhahrān. The people ran after it but they got tired. I ran after it and eventually caught it, and brought it to Abu Talhah. He then slaughtered it and sent its hip and two thighs to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and he accepted them.

Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions were on a journey. It appears that they rested in that place "Marr Azh-Zhahrān", the same place where they stopped to rest in the Year of the Conquest of Makkah. While they were there, they disturbed a rabbit. The people chased it to seize it, but they got tired and Anas continued till he caught it. At the time, Anas ibn Mālik was at the peak of his youth, so he seized it and took it to his stepfather, Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him), who slaughtered it and sent its two thighs and hip as a gift to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), and he accepted it and perhaps ate from it.

Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: Khālid ibn al-Walīd and I went to the apartment of Maymūnah along with the Messenger (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), and there was presented to him a roasted lizard. As the Messenger stretched his hand towards It, some of the women who had been in the house of Maymūnah said: "Inform the Messenger of Allah about what he intends to eat." The Messenger lifted his hand. I said: "O Messenger of Allah, is it forbidden?" He said: "No. Yet it is not found in the land of my people, and I feel that I have no liking for it." Khālid said: "I then chewed and ate it, while the Messenger was looking."
