Sahih Muslim · Hadith 5169
The Book of Games and the Animals which May be Slaughtered and the Aninals that Are to be Eaten - كتاب الصيد والذبائح وما يؤكل من الحيوان
حدثنا محمد بن المثنى، حدثنا محمد بن جعفر، حدثنا شعبة، قال سمعت هشام، بن زيد بن أنس بن مالك قال دخلت مع جدي أنس بن مالك دار الحكم بن أيوب فإذا قوم قد نصبوا دجاجة يرمونها قال فقال أنس نهى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أن تصبر البهائم .
Hishim b. Zaid b. Anas b. Milik reported: I visited the house of al-Hakam b. Ayyub along with my grandfather Anas b. Milik, (and there) some people had made a hen a target and were shooting arrows at her. Thereupon Asas said that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) had forbidden tying of the animals (and making them the targets of arrows, etc.). This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Shu'ba through other chains of transmitters.
