the Exalted: "And the bludgeoned animal" (4). Sa'id narrated with his chain of transmission from Ibrahim, from Adi, who said: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said: "Do not eat from the pellet-killed animal, except that which you slaughter" (5). He said regarding the Mi'rad: "If it is struck by its side, and it kills it, it is bludgeoned" (6). Umar said: Let one of you fear casting a stick or stone at a rabbit. Then he said: Let the spears and arrows be slaughtered for you (7). Once this is established, it is the same whether it crushes it or does not crush it, even if he shoots it (8) with a pellet and it cuts the bird's windpipe and esophagus, or it removes its head, it is not lawful.

This is an opinion that contradicts the consensus, so no consideration is given to it. Ibrahim al-Harbi said: Abu Thawr has breached the consensus. Ahmad said: There are people here who do not see any harm in the slaughtered animals of the Magians. How amazing this is! He was alluding to Abu Thawr. Among those from whom the dislike of their slaughtered animals is narrated are Ibn Mas'ud, Ibn Abbas, Ali, Jabir, Abu Burda, and Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib,
