أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنْ صُهَيْبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ هُوَ ابْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِي يَرْفَعُهُ قَالَ
«مَنْ قَتَلَ عُصْفُورًا فَمَا فَوْقَهَا بِغَيْرِ حَقِّهَا سَأَلَ اللهُ عَنْهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ» قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَا حَقُّهَا؟ قَالَ «حَقُّهَا أَنْ يَذْبَحَهَا فَيَأْكُلَهَا وَلَا يَقْطَعْ رَأْسَهَا فَيَرْمِي بِهَا»

"There is no person who kills a small bird or anything larger for no just reason, but Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, will ask him about it." It was said: "O Messenger of Allah, what does just reason;' mean?" Her said: "That you slaughter it and eat it, and do not cut off its head and throw it aside." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4349)
