Mishkat al-Masabih 4073 — Game and Animals Which May Be Slaughtered

Shaddad b. Aus Narrated from:

God who is blessed and exalted has decreed that everything should be done in a good way, so when you kill use a good method, and when you cut an animal’s throat you should use a good method, for each of you should sharpen his knife and give the animal as little pain as possible.” Muslim transmitted it.
