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.”
