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 (unlawful 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, because you have mentioned Allah's name on (sending) your hound only, but
you have not mentioned it on some other hound
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."
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.''
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."
Narrated
'Abdullah bin Maghaffal:
that he saw a man
throwing stones with two fingers (at something) and said to him, "Do not
throw stones, for Allah's Apostle has forbidden throwing stones, or e used to
dislike it." 'Abdullah added: Throwing stones will neither hunt the game,
nor kill (or hurt) an enemy, but it may break a tooth or gouge out an
eye." Afterwards 'Abdullah once again saw the man throwing stones. He said
to him, "I tell you that Allah's Apostle has forbidden or disliked the
throwing the stones (in such a way), yet you are throwing stones! I shall not
talk to you for such-and-such a period."
Narrated Ibn
'Umar:
The Prophet said,
"Whoever keeps a (pet) dog which is neither a watch dog nor a hunting dog,
will get a daily deduction of two Qirat from his good deeds."
Narrated
'Abdullah bin Umar:
I heard the
Prophet saying, "If someone keeps a dog neither for hunting, nor for
guarding livestock, the reward (for his good deeds) will be reduced by two
Qirats per day."
Narrated 'Abdullah
bin 'Umar:
Allah's Apostle
said, "If someone keeps a dog neither for guarding livestock, nor for
hunting, his good deeds will decrease (in reward) by two Qirats a day.'
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."
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."
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
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."
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 hunting, 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."
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.
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. 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."
Narrated Abu
Qatada:
(the same Hadith
above, but he added); The Prophet asked, "Is there any of its meat left
with you?"
Narrated Abu
Qatada:
I was with the
Prophet (on a journey) between Mecca and Medina, and all of them, (i.e. the
Prophet 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 companions,
"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."
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.
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 hunger became severe, and he slaughtered three more, but after that Abu 'Ubaida
forbade him to do so.
Narrated Ibn Abi
Aufa:
We participated
with the Prophet in six or seven Ghazawat, and we used to eat locusts with him.
Narrated Abu
Tha'laba Al-Khushani:

Prophet 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 there is
game in that land and I hunt with my bow and with my trained hound and with my
untrained hound." The Prophet said, "As for your saying that you are
in the land of people of the Scripture, you should not eat in their utensils
unless you find no alternative, in which case you must wash the utensils and
then eat in them As for your saying that you are in the land of game, if you
hunt something with your bow, mention Allah's Name (while hunting the game) and
eat; and if you hunt something with your trained hound, mention Allah's Name on
sending and eat; and if you hunt something with your untrained hound and get it
alive, slaughter it and you can eat of it"
Narrated Salama
bin Al-Aqwa':
In the evening of
the day of the conquest of Khaibar, the army made fires (for cooking). The
Prophet said, "For what have you made these fires?" They said,
"For cooking the meat of domestic donkeys." He said, "Throw away
what is in the cooking pots and break the pots." A man from the people got
up and said, "Shall we throw the contents of the cooking pots and then
wash the pots (instead of breaking them)?" The Prophet said, "Yes,
you can do either'
Narrated Rafi bin
Khadij:
We were with the
Prophet in Dhul-Hulaifa and there the people were struck with severe hunger.
Then we got camels and sheep as war booty (and slaughtered them). The Prophet
was behind all the people. The people hurried and fixed the cooking pots (for
cooking) but the Prophet came there and ordered that the cooking pots be turned
upside down. Then he distributed the animals, regarding ten sheep as equal to
one camel. One of the camels ran away and there were a few horses with the
people. They chased the camel but they got tired, whereupon a man shot it with
an arrow whereby Allah stopped it. The Prophet said, "Among these animals
some are as wild as wild beasts, so if one of them runs away from you, treat it
in this way." I said. "We hope, or we are afraid that tomorrow we
will meet the enemy and we have no knives, shall we slaughter (our animals)
with canes?" The Prophet said, "If the killing tool causes blood to
gush out and if Allah's Name is mentioned, eat (of the slaughterer animal). But
do not slaughter with a tooth or a nail. I am telling you why: A tooth is a
bone, and the nail is the knife of Ethiopians."
Narrated
'Abdullah:
Allah's Apostle
said that he met Zaid bin 'Amr Nufail at a place near Baldah and this had
happened before Allah's Apostle received the Divine Inspiration. Allah's
Apostle presented a dish of meat (that had been offered to him by the pagans)
to Zaid bin 'Amr, but Zaid refused to eat of it and then said (to the pagans),
"I do not eat of what you slaughter on your stonealtars (Ansabs) nor do I
eat except that on which Allah's Name has been mentioned on slaughtering."
Narrated Jundub
bin Sufyan Al-Bajali:
Once during the
lifetime of Allah's Apostle we offered some animals as sacrifices. Some people
slaughtered their sacrifices before the (Id) prayer, so when the Prophet
finished his prayer, he saw that they had slaughtered their sacrifices before
the prayer. He said, "Whoever has slaughtered (his sacrifice) before the
prayer, should slaughter (another sacrifice) in lieu of it; and whoever has not
yet slaughtered it till we have prayed; should slaughter (it) by mentioning
Allah's Name."
Narrated Ka'b:
that a slave girl
of theirs used to shepherd some sheep at Si'a (a mountain near Medina). On
seeing one of her sheep dying, she broke a stone and slaughtered it. Ka'b said

or, till I send someone to ask him." So he went to the Prophet or sent
someone to him The Prophet permitted (them) to eat it.
Narrated
'Abdullah
that Ka'b had a
slave girl who used to graze his sheep on a small mountain, called
"Sl'a", situated near the market. Once a sheep was dying, so she
broke a stone and slaughtered it with it. When they mentioned that to the
Prophet, he, permitted them to eat it.
Narrated Rafi bin
Khadij:
that he said,
"O Allah's Apostle! We have no knife." The Prophet said, "if the
killing tool causes blood to gush out, and if Allah's Name is mentioned, eat
(of the slaughtered animal). But do not slaughter with a nail or a tooth, for
the nail is the knife of Ethiopians and a tooth is a bone." Suddenly a
camel ran away and it was stopped (with an arrow). The Prophet then said,
"Of these camels there are some which are as wild as wild beasts; so if
one of them runs away from you and you cannot catch it, treat it in this manner
(i.e. shoot it with an arrow)."
Narrated Ka'b bin
Malik:

tool causes blood to flow out, and if Allah's Name is mentioned, eat (of the
slaughtered animal). But do not slaughter with a tooth or a nail. I will tell
you why: As for the tooth, it is a bone; and as for the nail, it is the knife
of Ethiopians." Then we got some camels and sheep as war booty, and one of
those camels ran away, whereupon a man shot it with an arrow and stopped it.

food. Abu Musa said (to him), "Come on (and eat), for I have seen Allah's
Apostle eating of it (i.e. chicken)." He said, "I have seen it eating
something (dirty) and since then I have disliked it, and have taken an oath
that I shall not eat it ' Abu Musa said, "Come on, I will tell you (or
narrate to you). Once I went to Allah s Apostle with a group of Al-Ash'ariyin,
and met him while he was angry, distributing some camels of Rakat. We asked for
mounts but he took an oath that he would not give us any mounts, and added, 'I
have nothing to mount you on' In the meantime some camels of booty were brought
to Allah's Apostle and he asked twice, 'Where are Al-Ash'ariyin?" So he
gave us five white camels with big humps. We stayed for a short while (after we
had covered a little distance), and then I said to my companions, "Allah's
Apostle has forgotten his oath. By Allah, if we do not remind Allah's Apostle
of his oath, we will never be successful." So we returned to the Prophet
and said, "O Allah's Apostle! We asked you for mounts, but you took an
oath that you would not give us any mounts; we think that you have forgotten your
oath.' He said, 'It is Allah Who has given you mounts. By Allah, and Allah
willing, if I take an oath and later find something else better than that. then
I do what is better and expiate my oath.' "

it, eat of it, unless the killing instrument is a tooth or nail. I will tell
you why: As for the tooth, it is a bone; and as for the nail, it is the knife
of Ethiopians." The quick ones among the people got the war booty while
the Prophet was behind the people. So they placed the cooking pots on the fire,
but the Prophet ordered the cooking pots to be turned upside down. Then he
distributed (the war booty) among them, considering one camel as equal to ten
sheep. Then a camel belonging to the first party of people ran away and they
had no horses with them, so a man shot it with an arrow whereby Allah stopped
it. The Prophet said, "Of these animals there are some which are as wild
as wild beasts. So, if anyone of them runs away like this, do like this (shoot
it with an arrow)."

do like this (shoot it with an arrow)." I said, "O Allah's Apostle!
Sometimes when we are in battles or on a journey we want to slaughter (animals)
but we have no knives." He said, "Listen! If you slaughter the animal
with anything that causes its blood to flow out, and if Allah's Name is
mentioned on slaughtering it, eat of it, provided that the slaughtering
instrument is not a tooth or a nail, as the tooth is a bone and the nail is the
knife of Ethiopians."
