حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمِنْهَالِ الضَّرِيرُ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَبِيبٌ الْمُعَلِّمُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو ثَعْلَبَةَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لِي کِلَابًا مُکَلَّبَةً فَأَفْتِنِي فِي صَيْدِهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنْ کَانَ لَکَ کِلَابٌ مُکَلَّبَةٌ فَکُلْ مِمَّا أَمْسَکْنَ عَلَيْکَ قَالَ ذَکِيًّا أَوْ غَيْرَ ذَکِيٍّ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَإِنْ أَکَلَ مِنْهُ قَالَ وَإِنْ أَکَلَ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفْتِنِي فِي قَوْسِي قَالَ کُلْ مَا رَدَّتْ عَلَيْکَ قَوْسُکَ قَالَ ذَکِيًّا أَوْ غَيْرَ ذَکِيٍّ قَالَ وَإِنْ تَغَيَّبَ عَنِّي قَالَ وَإِنْ تَغَيَّبَ عَنْکَ مَا لَمْ يَضِلَّ أَوْ تَجِدْ فِيهِ أَثَرًا غَيْرَ سَهْمِکَ قَالَ أَفْتِنِي فِي آنِيَةِ الْمَجُوسِ إِنْ اضْطُرِرْنَا إِلَيْهَا قَالَ اغْسِلْهَا وَکُلْ فِيهَا
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2857
Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As: There was a bedouin called Abu Thalabah. He said: Messenger of Allah, I have trained dogs, so tell me your opinion about (eating) the animal they hunt. The Prophet ﷺ said: If you have trained dogs, then eat what they catch for you. He asked: Whether it is slaughtered or not? He replied: Yes. He asked: Does it apply even if it eats any of it? He replied: Even if it eats any of it. He again asked: Messenger of Allah, tell me your opinion about my bow (i. e. the game hunted by arrow). He said: Eat what your bow returns to you, whether it is slaughtered or not. He asked: If it goes out of my sight? He replied: Even if it goes out of your sight, provided it has no stench, or you find a mark on it other than the mark of your arrow. He asked: Tell me about the use of the vessels of the Magians when we are forced to use them. He replied: Wash them and eat in them.
