Volume 3, Book 34, Number 270:
Narrated ‘Adi bin Hatim:
I asked Allah’s Apostle about Al Mirad (i.e. a sharp-edged piece of wood or a piece of wood
provided with a piece of iron used for hunting). He replied, “If the game is hit by its sharp edge, eat it,
and if it is hit by its broad side, do not eat it, for it has been beaten to death.” I asked, “O Allah’s
Apostle! I release my dog by the name of Allah and find with it at the game, another dog on which I
have not mentioned the name of Allah, and I do not know which one of them caught the game.” Al –
lah’s Apostle said (to him), ‘Don’t eat it as you have mentioned the name of Allah on your dog and not
on the other dog.”
Volume 3, Book 31, Number 140:
Narrated ‘Adi bin Hatim:
When the above verses were revealed: ‘Until the white thread appears to you, distinct from the
black thread,’ I took two (hair) strings, one black and the other white, and kept them under my pil –
low and went on looking at them throughout the night but could not make anything out of it. So, the
next morning I went to Allah’s Apostle and told him the whole story. He explained to me, “That verse
means the darkness of the night and the whiteness of the dawn.”
Volume 2, Book 24, Number 494:
Narrated ‘Adi bin Hatim:
While I was sitting with Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) two person came to him; one of them complained
about his poverty and the other complained about the prevalence of robberies. Allah’s Apostle said,
“As regards stealing and robberies, there will shortly come a time when a caravan will go to Mecca
(from Medina) without any guard. And regarding poverty, The Hour (Day of Judgment) will not be
established till one of you wanders about with his object of charity and will not find anybody to ac –
cept it And (no doubt) each one of you will stand in front of Allah and there will be neither a curtain
nor an interpreter between him and Allah, and Allah will ask him, ‘Did not I give you wealth?’ He
will reply in the affirmative. Allah will further ask, ‘Didn’t I send a messenger to you?’ And again that
person will reply in the affirmative Then he will look to his right and he will see nothing but Hell-

fire, and then he will look to his left and will see nothing but Hell-fire. And so, any (each one) of you
should save himself from the fire even by giving half of a date-fruit (in charity). And if you do not
find a half date-fruit, then (you can do it through saying) a good pleasant word (to your brethren).

Volume 1, Book 4, Number 175:
Narrated ‘Adi bin Hatim:
I asked the Prophet (about the hunting dogs) and he replied, “If you let loose (with Allah’s name)
your tamed dog after a game and it hunts it, you may eat it, but if the dog eats of (that game) then do
not eat it because the dog has hunted it for itself.” I further said, “Sometimes I send my dog for hunt –
ing and find another dog with it. He said, “Do not eat the game for you have mentioned Allah’s name
only on sending your dog and not the other dog.”
