حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ کَثِيرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي السَّفَرِ عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ عَدِيُّ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الْمِعْرَاضِ فَقَالَ إِذَا أَصَابَ بِحَدِّهِ فَکُلْ وَإِذَا أَصَابَ بِعَرْضِهِ فَلَا تَأْکُلْ فَإِنَّهُ وَقِيذٌ قُلْتُ أُرْسِلُ کَلْبِي قَالَ إِذَا سَمَّيْتَ فَکُلْ وَإِلَّا فَلَا تَأْکُلْ وَإِنْ أَکَلَ مِنْهُ فَلَا تَأْکُلْ فَإِنَّمَا أَمْسَکَ لِنَفْسِهِ فَقَالَ أُرْسِلُ کَلْبِي فَأَجِدُ عَلَيْهِ کَلْبًا آخَرَ فَقَالَ لَا تَأْکُلْ لِأَنَّکَ إِنَّمَا سَمَّيْتَ عَلَی کَلْبِکَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2854
Narrated Adi bin Hatim: I asked Prophet ﷺ about featherless arrow. He said: If it strikes with its end, eat, and if it strikes with the middle part of it, do not eat, for it died by a violent blow. I said: I set off my dog? He replies: If you mention Allah's name, eat, otherwise do not eat. If it eats any of it, do not eat, for it caught for itself. He asked: I set off my dog, and I find with it another dog ? He replied: Do not eat, because you mentioned Allah's name on your dog.
