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 hunt –
ing, 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.”
Volume 7, Book 67, Number 397:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
We provoked a rabbit at Marr Az-Zahran till it started jumping. My companions chased it till they
got tired. But I alone ran after it and caught it and brought it to Abu Talha. He sent both its legs to the
Prophet who accepted them.
Volume 7, Book 67, Number 398:
Narrated Abu Qatada:
that once he was with Allah’s Apostle (on the way to Mecca). When he had covered some of the
way to Mecca, he and some companions of his, who were in the state of lhram. remained behind the
Prophet while Abu Qatada himself was not in the state of Ihram. Abu Qatada, seeing 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.

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 7 > BOOK 67: HUNTING, SLAUGHTERING
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.”
Volume 7, Book 67, Number 399:
Narrated Abu Qatada:
(the same Hadith above, but he added); The Prophet asked, “Is there any of its meat left with you?”
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.”
