حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَی حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ عَدِيِّ ابْنِ حَاتِمٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرْمِي الصَّيْدَ فَيَغِيبُ عَنِّي لَيْلَةً قَالَ إِذَا وَجَدْتَ فِيهِ سَهْمَکَ وَلَمْ تَجِدْ فِيهِ شَيْئًا غَيْرَهُ فَکُلْهُ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 3213
It was narrated that 'Adi bin Hatim said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what if I shoot the game but it vanishes at night?' He said: 'If you find your arrow in it and you do not find anything else, then eat it."
