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 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 6, Book 60, Number 37:
Narrated ‘Adi bin Hatim:
I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! What is the meaning of the white thread distinct from the black thread?
Are these two threads?” He said, “You are not intelligent if you watch the two threads.” He then ad –
ded, “No, it is the darkness of the night and the whiteness of the day.”
Volume 4, Book 56, Number 793:
Narrated ‘Adi bin Hatim:
While I was in the city of the Prophet, a man came and complained to him (the Prophet, ) of desti –
tution and poverty. Then another man came and complained of robbery (by highwaymen). The
Prophet said, “Adi! Have you been to Al-Hira?” I said, “I haven’t been to it, but I was informed about
it.” He said, “If you should live for a long time, you will certainly see that a lady in a Howdah travel –
ing from Al-Hira will (safely reach Mecca and) perform the Tawaf of the Ka’ba, fearing none but Al –
lah.” I said to myself, “What will happen to the robbers of the tribe of Tai who have spread evil
through out the country?” The Prophet further said. “If you should live long, the treasures of Khosrau
will be opened (and taken as spoils).” I asked, “You mean Khosrau, son of Hurmuz?” He said, “Khos –
rau, son of Hurmuz; and if you should live long, you will see that one will carry a handful of gold or
silver and go out looking for a person to accept it from him, but will find none to accept it from him.
And any of you, when meeting Allah, will meet Him without needing an interpreter between him
and Allah to interpret for him, and Allah will say to him: ‘Didn’t I send a messenger to teach you?’ He
will say: ‘Yes.’ Allah will say: ‘Didn’t I give you wealth and do you favors?’ He will say: ‘Yes.’ Then he
will look to his right and see nothing but Hell, and look to his left and see nothing but Hell.”
‘Adi further said: I heard the Prophet saying, “Save yourself from the (Hell) Fire even with half a
date (to be given in charity) and if you do not find a half date, then with a good pleasant word.” ‘Adi
added: (later on) I saw a lady in a Howdah traveling from Al-Hira till she performed the Tawaf of the
Ka’ba, fearing none but Allah. And I was one of those who opened (conquered) the treasures of Khos –
rau, son of Hurmuz. If you should live long, you will see what the Prophet Abu-l-Qasim had said: ‘A
person will come out with a handful. of gold…etc.
