Sahih Muslim Book - 35, Hadith - 5092

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى الْعَنَزِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ عَبَايَةَ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ ، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ ، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنَّا لاَقُو الْعَدُوِّ غَدًا ، وَلَيْسَتْ مَعَنَا مُدًى ، قَالَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَعْجِلْ ، أَوْ أَرْنِي ، مَا أَنْهَرَ الدَّمَ ، وَذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللهِ ، فَكُلْ ، لَيْسَ السِّنَّ ، وَالظُّفُرَ ، وَسَأُحَدِّثُكَ ، أَمَّا السِّنُّ فَعَظْمٌ ، وَأَمَّا الظُّفُرُ فَمُدَى الْحَبَشَةِ ، قَالَ: وَأَصَبْنَا نَهْبَ إِبِلٍ وَغَنَمٍ ، فَنَدَّ مِنْهَا بَعِيرٌ ، فَرَمَاهُ رَجُلٌ بِسَهْمٍ فَحَبَسَهُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِنَّ لِهَذِهِ الإِبِلِ أَوَابِدَ كَأَوَابِدِ الْوَحْشِ ، فَإِذَا غَلَبَكُمْ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ فَاصْنَعُوا بِهِ هَكَذَا.

It was narrated from Rafi' bin Khadij: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, we are going to meet the enemy tomorrow, and we do not have any knives.' He (s.a.w) said: 'Slaughter quickly (with whatever) makes the blood flow, and mention the Name of Allah and eat, but do not use teeth and nails. I will explain to you. As for teeth, they are bones, and as for nails, they are the knives of the Abyssinians.' We acquired some camels and sheep, and one of the camels went out of control, and a man shot it with an arrow and brought it under control. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'These camels have the inclination to behave in a wild manner. If one of them overwhelms you, do the same thing."'
