أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زُنْبُورٍ أَبُو صَالِحٍ الْمَکِّيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا فُضَيْلُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أُرْسِلُ کِلَابِي الْمُعَلَّمَةَ فَيُمْسِکْنَ عَلَيَّ فَآکُلُ قَالَ إِذَا أَرْسَلْتَ کِلَابَکَ الْمُعَلَّمَةَ فَأَمْسَکْنَ عَلَيْکَ فَکُلْ قُلْتُ وَإِنْ قَتَلْنَ قَالَ وَإِنْ قَتَلْنَ قَالَ مَا لَمْ يَشْرَکْهُنَّ کَلْبٌ مِنْ سِوَاهُنَّ قُلْتُ أَرْمِي بِالْمِعْرَاضِ فَيَخْزِقُ قَالَ إِنْ خَزَقَ فَکُلْ وَإِنْ أَصَابَ بِعَرْضِهِ فَلَا تَأْکُلْ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4282
It was narrated that ‘Adiyy bin Hatim said: “I said: ‘Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, I release my trained dogs and they catch (game) for me; can I eat it?’ He said: ‘When you release your trained dogs and they catch (game) for you, then eat.’ I said: ‘Even if they kill it?’ He said: ‘Even if they kill it.’ He said: ‘So long as no other dogs have joined them.’ I said: ‘I shoot with the Mi’rad and they penetrate (the game).’ He said: ‘If they penetrate it, then eat, but if the broad side strikes it, then do not eat.” (Sahih)
