رَوَى مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «اَلنَّحْرُ فِي اَللَّبَّةِ وَ اَلذَّبْحُ فِي اَلْحَلْقِ».
Muawiyah ibn Ammar narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: "Nahr (slaughtering a camel) is at the throat hollow, and Dhabh (slaughtering other animals) is at the hollow of the neck."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh, p. 175
وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «كُلُّ مَنْحُورٍ مَذْبُوحٍ حَرَامٌ وَ كُلُّ مَذْبُوحٍ مَنْحُورٍ حَرَامٌ ».
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "Every camel slaughtered in the manner of Dhabh (slaughtering at the neck) is unlawful, and every other animal slaughtered in the manner of Nahr (piercing at the throat hollow) is unlawful."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ رَوَى اَلْحَلَبِيُّ عَنْهُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «لاَ يَذْبَحْ لَكَ اَلْيَهُودِيُّ وَ لاَ اَلنَّصْرَانِيُّ أُضْحِيَّتَكَ وَ إِنْ كَانَتِ اِمْرَأَةٌ فَلْتَذْبَحْ لِنَفْسِهَا وَ تَسْتَقْبِلُ اَلْقِبْلَةَ وَ تَقُولُ: «وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّذِي فَطَرَ اَلسَّمٰاوٰاتِ وَ اَلْأَرْضَ حَنِيفاً» مُسْلِماً اَللَّهُمَّ مِنْكَ وَ لَكَ ».
Al-Halabi narrated from Imam عليه السلام that he said: "A Jew or a Christian should not slaughter your sacrificial animal for you. If it is a woman, she should slaughter for herself, face the Qiblah, and say: 'I have turned my face towards the One who created the heavens and the earth, inclining to the truth, as a submitter [to Allah سبحانه وتعالى]. O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, this is from You and for You.'"
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ رَوَى عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي قَوْلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ « فَاذْكُرُوا اِسْمَ اَللّٰهِ عَلَيْهٰا صَوٰافَّ » قَالَ «ذَلِكَ حِينَ تَصُفُّ لِلنَّحْرِ وَ تَرْبِطُ يَدَيْهَا مَا بَيْنَ اَلْخُفِّ إِلَى اَلرُّكْبَةِ وَ وُجُوبُ جُنُوبِهَا إِذَا وَقَعَتْ إِلَى اَلْأَرْضِ ».
Abdullah ibn Sinan narrated from Imam Abu Abdullah عليه السلام regarding the words of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted: "So mention the name of Allah سبحانه وتعالى upon them while they are lined up [for sacrifice]" (Surah Al-Hajj 22:36). Imam عليه السلام said: "This refers to when they are positioned for sacrifice, and their forelegs are tied from the hooves to the knees, and their sides fall to the ground after they are slaughtered."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh, p. 175
وَ سَأَلَهُ أَبُو اَلصَّبَّاحِ اَلْكِنَانِيُّ: كَيْفَ تُنْحَرُ اَلْبَدَنَةُ قَالَ «تُنْحَرُ وَ هِيَ قَائِمَةٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ اَلْيَمِينِ.
Abu al-Sabbah al-Kinani asked Imam عليه السلام: "How is the camel (badanah) to be slaughtered?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "It is slaughtered while standing, from its right side."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ رَوَى مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ عَنْهُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «إِذَا اِشْتَرَيْتَ هَدْيَكَ فَاسْتَقْبِلْ بِهِ اَلْقِبْلَةَ وَ اِنْحَرْهُ أَوِ اِذْبَحْهُ وَ قُلْ «وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّذِي فَطَرَ اَلسَّمٰاوٰاتِ وَ اَلْأَرْضَ حَنِيفاً» مُسْلِماً «وَ مٰا أَنَا مِنَ اَلْمُشْرِكِينَ » «إِنَّ صَلاٰتِي وَ نُسُكِي وَ مَحْيٰايَ وَ مَمٰاتِي لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ اَلْعٰالَمِينَ `لاٰ شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ بِذٰلِكَ أُمِرْتُ» وَ أَنَا مِنَ اَلْمُسْلِمِينَ اَللَّهُمَّ مِنْكَ وَ لَكَ بِسْمِ اَللَّهِ وَ اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اَللَّهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ مِنِّي ثُمَّ أَمِرَّ اَلسِّكِّينَ وَ لاَ تَنْخَعْهَا حَتَّى تَمُوتَ ».
Muawiyah ibn Ammar narrated from Imam عليه السلام that he said: "When you purchase your hady (sacrificial animal), face it towards the Qiblah and slaughter or sacrifice it, and say: 'I have turned my face towards the One who created the heavens and the earth, inclining to the truth, as a submitter [to Allah سبحانه وتعالى], and I am not among the polytheists. Indeed, my prayer, my sacrifice, my life, and my death are for Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Lord عز وجل of the worlds. He has no partner, and with this, I have been commanded, and I am among the submitters. O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, this is from You and for You. In name of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Allah سبحانه وتعالى is the Greatest. O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, accept it from me.' Then pass the knife over it, but do not sever its spinal cord until it dies."
