Volume 7, Book 67, Number 384:
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 (un –
lawful 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, be –
cause 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 400:
Narrated Abu Qatada:
I was with the Prophet (on a journey) between Mecca and Medina, and all of them, (i.e. the Proph –
et 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 com –
panions, “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.”
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 401:
Narrated Jabir:
We went out in a campaign and the army was called The Army of the Khabt, and Abu ‘Ubaida was
our commander. We were struck with severe 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.
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 402:
Narrated Jabir:
The Prophet sent us as an army unit of three hundred warriors under the command of Abu
‘Ubaida to ambush a caravan of the Quraish. But we were struck with such severe hunger that we
ate the Khabt (desert bushes), so our army was called the Army of the Khabt. Then the sea 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 hun –
ger became severe, and he slaughtered three more, but after that Abu ‘Ubaida forbade him to do so.
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.”
