The reciter: 'Amr ibn 'Ali narrated to us, Yahya narrated to us, Sufyan narrated to us, my father narrated to us from 'Abayah ibn Rifa'ah ibn Rafi' ibn Khadij from Rafi' ibn Khadij, who said: Sahih al-Bukhari 5509
The Shaykh : Yes, look, what does "hurry or cut the throat" mean? It means just these two words; it is not needed, it is not needed.
I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! We are going to face the enemy tomorrow and we do not have knives." He said, "Hurry up (in killing the animal). If the killing tool causes blood to flow out, and if Allah's Name is mentioned, eat (of the slaughtered animal). But do not slaughter with a tooth or a nail. I will tell you why: As for the tooth, it is a bone; and as for the nail, it is the knife of Ethiopians." Then we got some camels and sheep as war booty, and one of those camels ran away, whereupon a man shot it with an arrow and stopped it. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Of these camels there are some which are as wild as wild beasts, so if one of them (runs away and) makes you tired, treat it in this manner."
قلت يا رسول الله إنا لاقو العدو غداً وليست معنا مدىً فقال : اعجل أو أرن ما أنهر الدم وذكر اسم الله فكل ليس السن والظفر وسأحدثك أما السن فعظم وأما الظفر فمدى الحبشة وأصبنا نهب إبل وغنم فند منها بعير فرماه رجل بسهم فحبسه فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : إن لهذه الإبل أوابد كأوابد الوحش فإذا غلبكم منها شيء فافعلوا به هكذاThe Shaykh : Yes, look, what does "hurry or cut the throat" mean? It means just these two words; it is not needed, it is not needed.
