[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "When you throw your arrow and it stays missing for three nights, then if you find it, everything that is not pierced by it does not require slaughtering."  

أحمد:١٧٧٤٤حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيِّ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا رَمَيْتَ بِسَهْمِكَ فَغَابَ ثَلَاثَ لَيَالٍ فَأَدْرَكْتَهُ فَكُلْ مَا لَمْ يُنْتِنْ
