4. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Khalid from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from Sama‘ah ibn Mehran who has said the following: “I once asked him (the Imam) (a.s.), about slaughtering. He (the Imam) said, ‘Slaughtering cannot properly be done without iron and ’Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.), prohibited slaughtering without it.’”
