أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ عَنْ أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ ( عليه السلام ) مِثْلَهُ .مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ زَيْدٍ الشَّحَّامِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِحَضْرَتِهِ سِكِّينٌ أَ يَذْبَحُ بِقَصَبَةٍ فَقَالَ اذْبَحْ بِالْقَصَبَةِ وَ بِالْحَجَرِ وَ بِالْعَظْمِ وَ بِالْعُودِ إِذَا لَمْ تُصِبِ الْحَدِيدَةَ إِذَا قَطَعَ الْحُلْقُومَ وَ خَرَجَ الدَّمُ فَلَا بَأْسَ .

3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from Zayd al-Shahham who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah , about the case of a man who does not have a knife; if he can slaughter with a piece of reed. He (the Imam) said, ‘You can use reeds, stones, bones or wood for slaughtering when you cannot find iron, if such things cut the throat and blood comes out; then it is not unlawful.’”
