حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُعَاذِ بْنِ خُلَيْفٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَی حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ عَنْ عَامِرٍ عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَحَدُنَا يَرْمِي الصَّيْدَ فَيَقْتَفِي أَثَرَهُ الْيَوْمَيْنِ وَالثَّلَاثَةَ ثُمَّ يَجِدُهُ مَيِّتًا وَفِيهِ سَهْمُهُ أَيَأْکُلُ قَالَ نَعَمْ إِنْ شَائَ أَوْ قَالَ يَأْکُلُ إِنْ شَائَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2853
Narrated Adi ibn Hatim: Messenger of Allah, one of us shoots at the game, and follows its mark for two or three days, and then finds it dead, and there is his arrow (pierced) in it, may he eat it? He said: Yes, if he wishes, or he said: he may eat if he wishes.
