Sahih Muslim Hadith 4972 – Hunting With

English

[4972] 1 – (1929) It was narrated that 'Adiyy bin Hâtim said: "I said: '0 Messenger of Allah, I release my trained dogs and they catch (game) for me, and I mention the Name of Allah over them.' He said: 'If you release your trained dog and you mention the Name of Allah over him, then eat.' I said: 'Even if (the dogs) kill (the game)?' He said: 'Even if they kill it, so long as another dog has not joined them." I said to him: 'And I shoot the game with a Mi'râçlEhl (a short blunt, arrow without fletching) and I hit it.' He said: 'If you shoot the Mi'râd and it pierces (the game), then eat it, but if it strikes it sideways, then do not eat it."
