Messenger of Allah, one of us shoots at the game, and follows its mark for two or three days, and then finds it dead, and there is his arrow (pierced) in it, may he eat it? He said: Yes, if he wishes, or he said: he may eat if he wishes. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2853)
أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَحَدَنَا يَرْمِي فَيَقْتَفِي أَثَرَهُ الْيَوْمَ وَالْيَوْمَيْنِ فَيَجِدُهُ مَيِّتًا وَفِيهِ سَهْمُهُ أَيَأْكُلُ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ إِنْ شَاءَ أَوْ قَالَ يَأْكُلُ إِنْ شَاءَ
