Ablaq Ghorey Suwar | Piebald Horse Rider
Here is a strange parable. Sayyidunā Abū Ja’far عَـلَیْـهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الْاَکۡـبَر has said that once I laid a goat on the ground in order to slaughter it. Meanwhile a famous saint, Sayyidunā Ayyūb Sakhtiyānī قُـدِّسَ سِـرُّہُ الـنُّـوۡرَانِی came there. Placing the knife on the ground I began talking to him. In the meantime, the goat dug a hole with its hoofs in the bottom of the wall, pushed the knife into it with its feet, and levelled the ground. Sayyidunā Ayyūb Sakhtiyānī قُـدِّسَ سِـرُّہُ الـنُّـوۡرَانِی said, ‘Look! What the goat has done!’ Seeing this, I made a firm intention of never slaughtering any animal with my own hands.’ (Ḥayāt-ul-Ḥaywān, vol. 2, pp. 61)
Dear Islamic brothers! This parable does not imply that slaughtering an animal is something wrong. In fact, these types of parables reflect the inner state (Ghalba-e-Ḥāl) of the saints. Anyway, the Islamic ruling is that slaughtering an animal with one’s own hands is a Sunnaĥ.
The goat was staring at the knife
The Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم passed by a person who was sharpening his knife placing his foot on the neck of a goat that was staring at him. He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said to the person, ‘Could you not do it before? Do you want to kill it several times? Why didn’t you sharpen your knife before putting it down?’ (Al-Mustadrak lil-Ḥākim, vol. 5, pp. 327, Ḥadīš 7637; Sunan-ul-Kubrā lil-Bayĥaqī, vol. 9, pp. 471, Ḥadīš 9141)
