أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورٌ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ أُرْسِلُ الْکَلْبَ الْمُعَلَّمَ فَيَأْخُذُ فَقَالَ إِذَا أَرْسَلْتَ الْکَلْبَ الْمُعَلَّمَ وَذَکَرْتَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَأَخَذَ فَکُلْ قُلْتُ وَإِنْ قَتَلَ قَالَ وَإِنْ قَتَلَ قُلْتُ أَرْمِي بِالْمِعْرَاضِ قَالَ إِذَا أَصَابَ بِحَدِّهِ فَکُلْ وَإِذَا أَصَابَ بِعَرْضِهِ فَلَا تَأْکُلْ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4280
It was narrated from ‘Adiyy bin Hatim that he asked the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم “I release my trained dog and he catches (game).” He said: “If you release the trained dog and you say the name of Allah over him, and he catches (something), then eat.” I said: “Even if he kills it?” He said: “Even if he kills it.” I said: “And I shoot with the Mi’rad.” He said: “If it hits (the game) with its sharp point, then eat, but if it hits it with its broad side, then do not eat.” (Sahih).
