حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ عَنْ بَيَانٍ عَنْ عَامِرٍ عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قُلْتُ إِنَّا نَصِيدُ بِهَذِهِ الْکِلَابِ فَقَالَ لِي إِذَا أَرْسَلْتَ کِلَابَکَ الْمُعَلَّمَةَ وَذَکَرْتَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهَا فَکُلْ مِمَّا أَمْسَکْنَ عَلَيْکَ وَإِنْ قَتَلَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَأْکُلَ الْکَلْبُ فَإِنْ أَکَلَ الْکَلْبُ فَلَا تَأْکُلْ فَإِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يَکُونَ إِنَّمَا أَمْسَکَهُ عَلَی نَفْسِهِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2848
Narrated Adi bin Hatim: I asked the Messenger of Allah. I said: We hunt with these dogs. He replied: When you set off your dog and mention Allah's name over it, eat what it catches for you, even if it kills it, except that the dog has eaten (any of it); if the dog has eaten (any of it), do not eat, for Im afraid it has caught it only for itself.
