Hanad told us, and Muhammad bin Al-Ala’ told us, Waki’ told us, on the authority of Hammad bin Salamah, h, and Ahmad bin Mani’ said, Yazid bin Harun told us, Hammad bin Salamah told us, on the authority of Abu Al-Ashra’, on the authority of his father, he said, “I said, ‘O Messenger of God, is the slaughter only done at the throat?’” And Al-Labbah said: “If you had stabbed her in the thigh, it would be sufficient for you.” Ahmad bin Mani’ said: Yazid bin Harun said this is necessary. He said, and on the authority of Rafi’ bin Khadij. Abu Issa said: This is a strange hadith. We do not know it except from the hadith of Hammad bin Salamah. We know my father's Al-Ashra’ on the authority of his father other than this hadith, and they differed regarding the name of Abi Al-Ashra’. Some of them said his name is Usama bin Qahtam, and his name is said is Yasar bin Barz, who is also called Ibn Balz, and whose name is called Mercury, named after his grandfather.
