أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زَکَرِيَّا وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَامِرٌ عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الْکَلْبِ فَقَالَ إِذَا أَرْسَلْتَ کَلْبَکَ فَسَمَّيْتَ فَکُلْ وَإِنْ وَجَدْتَ کَلْبًا آخَرَ مَعَ کَلْبِکَ فَلَا تَأْکُلْ فَإِنَّمَا سَمَّيْتَ عَلَی کَلْبِکَ وَلَمْ تُسَمِّ عَلَی غَيْرِهِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4284
It was narrated that ‘Adiyy bin Hatim said: “I asked the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم about dogs and he said: ‘If you release your dog and say the name of Allah, then eat, but if you find another dog with your dog then do not eat, for you only said the name of Allah over your dog, not any other.” (Sahih)
