أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْکُوفِيُّ الْمُحَارِبِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَکِ عَنْ حَيْوَةَ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَبِيعَةَ بْنَ يَزِيدَ يَقُولُ أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو إِدْرِيسَ عَائِذُ اللَّهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيَّ يَقُولُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا بِأَرْضِ صَيْدٍ أَصِيدُ بِقَوْسِي وَأَصِيدُ بِکَلْبِي الْمُعَلَّمِ وَبِکَلْبِي الَّذِي لَيْسَ بِمُعَلَّمٍ فَقَالَ مَا أَصَبْتَ بِقَوْسِکَ فَاذْکُرْ اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَکُلْ وَمَا أَصَبْتَ بِکَلْبِکَ الْمُعَلَّمِ فَاذْکُرْ اسْمَ اللَّهِ وَکُلْ وَمَا أَصَبْتَ بِکَلْبِکَ الَّذِي لَيْسَ بِمُعَلَّمٍ فَأَدْرَکْتَ ذَکَاتَهُ فَکُلْ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4281
Abu Tha’labah Al-Khushani said: “I said: ‘Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, we live in a land where people hunt, and I hunt with my bow and with my trained dog, and with my dog which is not trained.’ He said: ‘Whatever you catch with your bow, mention the name of Allah over it and eat. Whatever you catch with the trained dog, mention the name of Allah over it and eat. Whatever you catch with your untrained dog and you reach it while it is still alive, then slaughter it, and eat.” (Sahih)
