[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, write for me a piece of land in this and this area, a land in Sham (Greater Syria) that has not been exposed to the Prophet ﷺ at that time." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Don't you listen to what this man is saying?" Abu Tha'laba said, "By the One in whose hand is my soul, it will appear on that land." So the Prophet ﷺ wrote it for him. Then I said to him, "O Messenger of Allah, our land is a hunting ground, so I send my trained dog and my untrained dog. He said, "When you send your trained dog and name it, whatever it catches will be from your trained dog, even if it killed it. And when you send your untrained dog, and you found its prey dead, then eat it, and whatever it leaves, your arrow will be what it killed. And when you send it, say the name of Allah." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, our land is a land of the People of the Book who eat the meat of swine and drink wine. How should I deal with their utensils and pots?" He said, "If you do not find anything else, then wash it and cook in it and drink from it." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is permissible for us of what is forbidden for us?" He said, "Do not eat the meat of domesticated donkeys, nor that of any predator from the wild animals."
