أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَکَمِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مَسْرُوقٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الشَّعْبِيُّ عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ وَکَانَ لَنَا جَارًا وَدَخِيلًا وَرَبِيطًا بِالنَّهْرَيْنِ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ أُرْسِلُ کَلْبِي فَأَجِدُ مَعَ کَلْبِي کَلْبًا قَدْ أَخَذَ لَا أَدْرِي أَيَّهُمَا أَخَذَ قَالَ لَا تَأْکُلْ فَإِنَّمَا سَمَّيْتَ عَلَی کَلْبِکَ وَلَمْ تُسَمِّ عَلَی غَيْرِهِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4285
It was narrated from Ash Sha’bi that; “Adiyy bin Hatim — who was a neighbor, DakhIlan and RabItan at An-Nahrain — narrated that he asked the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم saying: ‘I release my dog and I find another dog with my dog, and I do not know which of them caught (the game).’ He said: ‘Do not eat, for you only said the name of Allah over your dog, and not over any other dog.” (Sahih)
