أَخْبَرَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الأَحْوَصِ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَبَايَةَ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ قَالَ

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا نَلْقَى الْعَدُوَّ غَدًا وَلَيْسَ مَعَنَا مُدًى فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا أَنْهَرَ الدَّمَ وَذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللَّهِ ﷻ فَكُلُوا مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ سِنًّا أَوْ ظُفْرًا وَسَأُحَدِّثُكُمْ عَنْ ذَلِكَ أَمَّا السِّنُّ فَعَظْمٌ وَأَمَّا الظُّفْرُ فَمُدَى الْحَبَشَةِ

"I said: 'O Messenger of Allah we are going to meet the enemy tomorrow and we do not have any knives.' The Messenger of Allah said: "If the blood is shed and the name of Allah is mentioned, then eat, unless (it is slaughtered (with teeth or nails, and I will tell you about that. As for teeth, they are bones, and as for nails, they are the knives of the Ethiopians."' (Sahih )

What scholars said about it

In their own words, as Hadith Unlocked records them. They are shown, not summarised into a grade.

  • عبد الغني بن سعيد الأزدي

    أخطأ أبو الأحوص في هذا حيث قال عن أبيه عن جده وقد حذف البخاري في الصحيح قوله عن أبيه فصار عن عباية عن جده رافع وهو الصواب

    machine translationAbū al-Aḥwaṣ erred in this when he said "from his father, from his grandfather." Al-Bukhārī in the Ṣaḥīḥ omitted the words "from his father," so it became "from ʿAbāyah, from his grandfather Rāfiʿ," and this is the correct version.

    in سنن النسائي, p. 4415
  • Abū Ḥatim al-Rāzī

    روى هذا الحديث الثوري وغيره ولم يقولوا فيه عن أبيه قلت فأيهما أصح قال الثوري أحفظ

    machine translationAl-Thawrī and others narrated this hadith and did not say in it "from his father." I said: Which of the two is more sound? He said: Al-Thawrī is more retentive (aḥfaẓ).
