[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, advise me regarding my bow." He said, "Every arrow that returns to you, your bowstring has hit the target." He said, "And if it disappears from me?" He said, "If it goes missing and you don't find any other traces except your own arrow." He said, "Advise me regarding the vessels of the Magians if I am compelled to use them." He said, "Wash them and then eat in them."  

البيهقي:١٨٩١٢أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمِنْهَالِ الضَّرِيرُ ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ ثنا حَبِيبٌ الْمُعَلِّمُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو ثَعْلَبَةَ قَالَ

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَفْتِنِي فِي قَوْسِي قَالَ كُلْ مَا رَدَّتْ عَلَيْكَ قَوْسُكَ قَالَ ذَكِيٌّ وَغَيْرُ ذَكِيٍّ؟ قَالَ وَإِنْ تَغَيَّبَ عَنِّي؟ قَالَ وَإِنْ تَغَيَّبَ عَنْكَ مَا لَمْ يَصِلَّ أَوْ تَجِدْ فِيهِ أَثَرَ غَيْرِ سَهْمِكَ قَالَ أَفْتِنِي فِي آنِيَةِ الْمَجُوسِ إِذَا اضْطُرِرْتُ إِلَيْهَا قَالَ اغْسِلْهَا وَكُلْ فِيهَا

There was a bedouin called AbuTha'labah. He said: Messenger of Allah, I have trained dogs, so tell me your opinion about (eating) the animal they hunt. The Prophet ﷺ said: If you have trained dogs, then eat what they catch for you. He asked: Whether it is slaughtered or not? He replied: Yes. He asked: Does it apply even if it eats any of it? He replied: Even if it eats any of it. He again asked: Messenger of Allah, tell me your opinion about my bow (i.e. the game hunted by arrow). He said: Eat what your bow returns to you, whether it is slaughtered or not. He asked: If it goes out of my sight? He replied: Even if it goes out of your sight, provided it has no stench, or you find a mark on it other than the mark of your arrow. He asked: Tell me about the use of the vessels of the Magians when we are forced to use them. He replied: Wash them and eat in them.

يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لِي كِلاَبًا مُكَلَّبَةً فَأَفْتِنِي فِي صَيْدِهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنْ كَانَ لَكَ كِلاَبٌ مُكَلَّبَةٌ فَكُلْ مِمَّا أَمْسَكْنَ عَلَيْكَ قَالَ ذَكِيًّا أَوْ غَيْرَ ذَكِيٍّ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَإِنْ أَكَلَ مِنْهُ قَالَ وَإِنْ أَكَلَ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفْتِنِي فِي قَوْسِي قَالَ كُلْ مَا رَدَّتْ عَلَيْكَ قَوْسُكَ قَالَ ذَكِيًّا أَوْ غَيْرَ ذَكِيٍّ قَالَ وَإِنْ تَغَيَّبَ عَنِّي قَالَ وَإِنْ تَغَيَّبَ عَنْكَ مَا لَمْ يَصِلَّ أَوْ تَجِدَ فِيهِ أَثَرًا غَيْرَ سَهْمِكَ قَالَ أَفْتِنِي فِي آنِيَةِ الْمَجُوسِ إِنِ اضْطُرِرْنَا إِلَيْهَا قَالَ اغْسِلْهَا وَكُلْ فِيهَا
