Narrated Adi bin Hatim:
I asked the Prophet about the game killed by a Mi'rad (i.e. a
sharp-edged piece of wood or a piece of wood provided with a sharp
piece of iron used for hunting). He said, "If the game is killed
with its sharp edge, eat of it, but if it is killed with its shaft,
with a hit by its broad side then the game is (unlawful to eat) for
it has been beaten to death." I asked him about the game killed by a
trained hound. He said, "If the hound catches the game for you, eat
of it, for killing the game by the hound, is like its slaughtering.
But if you see with your hound or hounds another dog, and you are
afraid that it might have shared in hunting the game with your hound
and killed it, then you should not eat of it, because you have
mentioned Allah's name on (sending) your hound only, but you have
not mentioned it on some other hound
Volume 7, Book 67, Number 385
Narrated 'Adi bin Hatim:
I asked Allah's Apostle about the Mi'rad. He said, "If you hit the
game with its sharp edge, eat it, but if the Mi'rad hits the game
with its shaft with a hit by its broad side do not eat it, for it
has been beaten to death with a piece of wood. (i.e. unlawful)." I
asked, "If I let loose my trained hound after a game?" He said, "If
you let loose your trained hound after game, and mention the name of
Allah, then you can eat." I said, "If the hound eats of the game?"
He said "Then you should not eat of it, for the hound has hunted the
game for itself and not for you." I said, "Some times I send my
hound and then I find some other hound with it?" He said "Don't eat
the game, as you have mentioned the Name of Allah on your dog only
and not on the other."
Volume 7, Book 67, Number 386
Narrated Adi bin Hatim:
I said, "O Allah's Apostle! We let loose our trained hounds after a
game?" He said, "Eat what they hunt for you." I said, "Even if they
killed (the game)?" He replied, 'Even if they killed (the game)." I
said, 'We also hit (the game) with the Mi'rad?" He said, "Eat of the
animal which the Mi'rad kills by piercing its body, but do not eat
of the animal which is killed by the broad side of the Mi'rad.''
Volume 7, Book 67, Number 387
Narrated Abu Tha'laba Al-Khushani:
I said, "O Allah's Prophet! We are living in a land ruled by the
people of the Scripture; Can we take our meals in their utensils? In
that land there is plenty of game and I hunt the game with my bow
and with my hound that is not trained and with my trained hound.
Then what is lawful for me to eat?" He said, "As for what you have
mentioned about the people of the Scripture, if you can get utensils
other than theirs, do not eat out of theirs, but if you cannot get
other than theirs, wash their utensils and eat out of it. If you
hunt an animal with your bow after mentioning Allah's Name, eat of
it. and if you hunt something with your trained hound after
mentioning Allah's Name, eat of it, and if you hunt something with
your untrained hound (and get it before it dies) and slaughter it,
eat of it."
Volume 7, Book 67, Number 388
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Maghaffal:
that he saw a man throwing stones with two fingers (at something)
and said to him, "Do not throw stones, for Allah's Apostle has
forbidden throwing stones, or e used to dislike it." 'Abdullah
added: Throwing stones will neither hunt the game, nor kill (or
hurt) an enemy, but it may break a tooth or gouge out an eye."
Afterwards 'Abdullah once again saw the man throwing stones. He said
to him, "I tell you that Allah's Apostle has forbidden or disliked
the throwing the stones (in such a way), yet you are throwing
stones! I shall not talk to you for such-and-such a period."
Volume 7, Book 67, Number 389

Volume 7, Book 67, Number 392
Narrated Adi bin Hatim:
I asked Allah's Apostle. "We hunt with the help of these hounds." He
said, "If you let loose your trained hounds after a game, and
mention the name of Allah, then you can eat what the hounds catch
for you, even if they killed the game. But you should not eat of it
if the hound has eaten of it, for then it is likely that the hound
has caught the game for itself. And if other hounds join your hound
in hunting the game, then do not eat of it."
Volume 7, Book 67, Number 393
Narrated Adi bin Hatim:
The Prophet said, "If you let loose your hound after a game and
mention Allah's Name on sending it, and the hound catches the game
and kills it, then you can eat of it. But if the hound eats of it,
then you should not eat thereof, for the hound has caught it for
itself. And if along with your hound, join other hounds, and Allah's
Name was not mentioned at the time of their sending, and they catch
an animal and kill it, you should not ea: of it, for you will not
know which of them has killed it. And if you have thrown an arrow at
the game and then find it (dead) two or three days later and, it
bears no mark other than the wound inflicted by your arrow, then you
can eat of it. But if the game is found (dead) in water, then do not
eat of it." And it has also been narrated by 'Adi bin Hatim that he
asked the Prophet "If a hunter throws an arrow at the game and after
tracing it for two or three days he finds it dead but still bearing
his arrow, (can he eat of it)?" The Prophet replied, "He can eat if
he wishes."
Volume 7, Book 67, Number 394
Narrated 'Adi bin Hatim:
I said, "O Allah's Apostle! I let loose my hound after a game and
mention Allah's Name on sending it." The Prophet said, "If you let
loose your hound after a game and you mention Allah's Name on
sending it and the hound catches and kills the game and eats of it,
then you should not eat of it, for it has killed it for itself." I
said, "Sometimes when I send my hound after a game, I find another
hound along with it and I do not know which of them has caught the
game." He said, "You must not eat of it because you have not
mentioned, the Name of Allah except on sending your own hound, and
you did not mention it on the other hound." Then I asked him about
the game hunted with a Mi'rad (i.e. a sharp edged piece of wood or a
piece of wood provided with a sharp piece of iron used for hunting).
He said, "If the game is killed with its sharp edge, you can eat of
it, but if it is killed by its broad side (shaft), you cannot eat of
it, for then it is like an animal beaten to death with a pie
Volume 7, Book 67, Number 395
Narrated Adi Bin Hatim:
I asked Allah's Apostle, "We hunt with these hounds." He said, "If
you send your trained hounds after a game and mention Allah's Name
on sending, you can eat of what they catch for you. But if the hound
eats of the game, then you must not eat of it, for I am afraid that
the hound caught it for itself, and if another hound joins your
hounds (during the hunt), you should not eat of the game."
Volume 7, Book 67, Number 396
Narrated Abu Tha'laba Al-Khushani:
I came to Allah's Apostle and said, "O Allah's Apostle! We are
living in the land of the people of the Scripture and we take our
meals in their utensils, and in the land there is game and I hunt
with my bow and trained or untrained hounds; please tell me what is
lawful for us of that." He said, "As for your saying that you are
living in the land of the people of the Scripture and that you eat
in their utensils, if you can get utensils other than theirs, do not
eat in their utensils, but if you do not find (other than theirs),
then wash their utensils and eat in them. As for your saying that
you are in the land of game, if you hung something with your bow,
and have mentioned Allah's Name while hunting, then you can eat (the
game). And if you hunt something with your trained hound, and have
mentioned Allah's Name on sending it for hunting then you can eat
(the game). But if you hunt something with your untrained hound and
you were able to slaughter it before its death, you can eat of it."

an onager rode his horse and asked his companions to hand him a
whip, but they refused. He then asked them to hand him his spear,
but they refused. Then he took it himself and attacked the onager
and killed it. Some of the Companions of Allah's Apostle ate of it,
but some others refused to eat. When they met Allah's Apostle they
asked him about that. He said, "It was meal given to you by Allah."

I was with the Prophet (on a journey) between Mecca and Medina, and
all of them, (i.e. the Prophet and his companions) were in the state
of Ihram, while I was not in that state. I was riding my horse and I
used to be fond of ascending mountains. So while I was doing so I
noticed that the people were looking at something. I went to see
what it was, and behold it was an onager. I asked my companions,
"What is that?" They said, "We do not know." I said, "It is an
onager.' They said, "It is what you have seen." I had left my whip,
so I said to them, "Hand to me my whip." They said, "We will not
help you in that (in hunting the onager)." I got down, took my whip
and chased the animal (on my horse) and did not stop till I killed
it. I went to them and said, "Come on, carry it!" But they said, "We
will not even touch it." At last I alone carried it and brought it
to them. Some of them ate of it and some refused to eat of it. I
said (to them), "I will ask the Prophet about it (on your behalf)."
When I met the Prophet, I told him the whole story. He said to me,
"Has anything of it been left with you?" I said, "Yes." He said,
"Eat, for it is a meal Allah has offered to you."

hunger. Then the sea threw a huge dead fish called Al-'Anbar, the
like of which had never been seen. We ate of it for half a month,
and then Abu 'Ubaida took one of its bones (and made an arch of it)
so that a rider could easily pass under it.

threw a huge fish called Al-'Anbar and we ate of it for half a month
and rubbed our bodies with its fat till our bodies became healthy.
Then Abu Ubaida took one of its ribs and fixed it over the ground
and a rider passed underneath it. There was a man amongst us who
slaughtered three camels when hunger became severe, and he
slaughtered three more, but after that Abu 'Ubaida forbade him to do
so.

Prophet said, "As for your saying that you are in the land of people
of the Scripture, you should not eat in their utensils unless you
find no alternative, in which case you must wash the utensils and
then eat in them As for your saying that you are in the land of
game, if you hunt something with your bow, mention Allah's Name

fires?" They said, "For cooking the meat of domestic donkeys." He
said, "Throw away what is in the cooking pots and break the pots." A
man from the people got up and said, "Shall we throw the contents of
the cooking pots and then wash the pots (instead of breaking them)?"
The Prophet said, "Yes, you can do either'

Prophet came there and ordered that the cooking pots be turned
upside down. Then he distributed the animals, regarding ten sheep as
equal to one camel. One of the camels ran away and there were a few
horses with the people. They chased the camel but they got tired,
whereupon a man shot it with an arrow whereby Allah stopped it. The
Prophet said, "Among these animals some are as wild as wild beasts,
so if one of them runs away from you, treat it in this way." I said.
"We hope, or we are afraid that tomorrow we will meet the enemy and
we have no knives, shall we slaughter (our animals) with canes?" The
Prophet said, "If the killing tool causes blood to gush out and if
Allah's Name is mentioned, eat (of the slaughterer animal). But do
not slaughter with a tooth or a nail. I am telling you why: A tooth
is a bone, and the nail is the knife of Ethiopians."

mentioning Allah's Name."

something (dirty) and since then I have disliked it, and have taken
an oath that I shall not eat it ' Abu Musa said, "Come on, I will
tell you (or narrate to you). Once I went to Allah s Apostle with a
group of Al-Ash'ariyin, and met him while he was angry, distributing
some camels of Rakat. We asked for mounts but he took an oath that
he would not give us any mounts, and added, 'I have nothing to mount
you on' In the meantime some camels of booty were brought to Allah's
Apostle and he asked twice, 'Where are Al-Ash'ariyin?" So he gave us
five white camels with big humps. We stayed for a short while (after
we had covered a little distance), and then I said to my companions,
"Allah's Apostle has forgotten his oath. By Allah, if we do not
remind Allah's Apostle of his oath, we will never be successful." So
we returned to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's Apostle! We asked
you for mounts, but you took an oath that you would not give us any
mounts; we think that you have forgotten your oath.' He said, 'It is
Allah Who has given you mounts. By Allah, and Allah willing, if I
take an oath and later find something else better than that. then I
do what is better and expiate my oath.' "

that a mouse had died in butter-fat whereupon Allah's Apostle
ordered that the butter-fat near it be thrown away and the rest of
the butter-fat can be eaten.

butter-fat around it, and eat the rest."

Volume 7, Book 67, Number 450
Narrated Anas:
I brought a brother of mine to the Prophet to do Tahnik for him
while the Prophet was in a sheep fold of his, and I saw him branding
a sheep. (The sub-narrator said: I think Anas said, branding it on
the ear.)
Volume 7, Book 67, Number 451
Narrated Rait' bin Khadij:
I said to the Prophet, "We will be facing the enemy tomorrow and we
have no knives (for slaughtering)' He said, "If you slaughter the
animal with anything that causes its blood to flow out, and if
Allah's Name is mentioned on slaughtering it, eat of it, unless the
killing instrument is a tooth or nail. I will tell you why: As for
the tooth, it is a bone; and as for the nail, it is the knife of
Ethiopians." The quick ones among the people got the war booty while
the Prophet was behind the people. So they placed the cooking pots
on the fire, but the Prophet ordered the cooking pots to be turned
upside down. Then he distributed (the war booty) among them,
considering one camel as equal to ten sheep. Then a camel belonging
to the first party of people ran away and they had no horses with
them, so a man shot it with an arrow whereby Allah stopped it. The
Prophet said, "Of these animals there are some which are as wild as
wild beasts. So, if anyone of them runs away like this, do like this
(shoot it with an arrow)."
Volume 7, Book 67, Number 452
Narrated Rafi bin Khadij:
While we were with the Prophet. on a journey, one of the camels ran
away. A man shot it with an arrow and stopped it. The Prophet said,
"Of these camels some are as wild as wild beasts, so if one of them
runs away and you cannot catch it, then do like this (shoot it with
an arrow)." I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Sometimes when we are in
battles or on a journey we want to slaughter (animals) but we have
no knives." He said, "Listen! If you slaughter the animal with
anything that causes its blood to flow out, and if Allah's Name is
mentioned on slaughtering it, eat of it, provided that the
slaughtering instrument is not a tooth or a nail, as the tooth is a
bone and the nail is the knife of Ethiopians."
