bayhaqi:19713Abū Ṣāliḥ b. Abū Ṭāhir al-ʿAnbarī > Jaddī Yaḥyá b. Manṣūr al-Qāḍī > Abū Bakr Muḥammad b. Ismāʿīl > ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. Ibrāhīm al-Dimashqī And Laqabuh Duḥaym > Muḥammad b. Shuʿayb > ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. Yazīd b. Jābir > ʿUmayr b. Hāniʾ > Abū Thaʿlabah al-Khushanī

[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I shoot with my bow and sometimes I hit an animal and sometimes I miss. What is permissible for me to eat and what is forbidden?" We are in the land of the People of the Book and they eat pork in their dishes and drink wine in them. So can we eat and drink from them?" He said, "As long as you recite the name of Allah and your arrow reached its target, then eat. But if you find dishes of the People of the Book empty, do not eat from them. And if you do not find them empty, then wash them with water thoroughly and then eat from them. And in this, there is evidence that the requirement for washing is only when knowledge of its impurity is known. And Allah knows best."  

البيهقي:١٩٧١٣أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو صَالِحِ بْنُ أَبِي طَاهِرٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ أنبأ جَدِّي يَحْيَى بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ الْقَاضِي ثنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ وَلَقَبُهُ دُحَيْمٌ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ عَنْ عُمَيْرِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيِّ ؓ قَالَ

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ أَيْ رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي أَرْمِي بِقَوْسِي فَمِنْهُ مَا أُدْرِكُ ذَكَاتَهُ وَمِنْهُ مَا لَا أُدْرِكُ فَمَاذَا يَحِلُّ لِي وَمَا يَحْرُمُ عَلَيَّ؟ إِنَّا فِي أَرْضِ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ وَهُمْ يَأْكُلُونَ فِي آنِيَتِهِمُ الْخِنْزِيرَ وَيَشْرَبُونَ فِيهَا الْخَمْرَ فَنَأْكُلُ فِيهَا وَنَشْرَبُ؟ قَالَ كُلْ مَا رَدَّ عَلَيْكَ قَوْسُكَ وَذَكَرْتَ اسْمَ اللهِ فَكُلْ وَإِنْ وَجَدْتَ عَنْ آنِيَةِ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ غِنًى فَلَا تَأْكُلْ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدْ عَنْهَا غِنًى فَارْحَضُوهَا بِالْمَاءِ رَحْضًا شَدِيدًا ثُمَّ كُلُوا فِيهَا وَفِي هَذَا دَلَالَةٌ عَلَى أَنَّ الْأَمْرَ بِالْغَسْلِ إِنَّمَا وَقَعَ عِنْدَ الْعِلْمِ بِنَجَاسَتِهَا وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ

[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I shoot with my bow, and sometimes I recover its prey and sometimes I do not. What is permissible for me from what I recover and what is forbidden for me? I am in the land of the People of the Book, and they eat pork in their vessels and drink wine in them. Can I eat and drink in them?" The Messenger of Allah raised his gaze at me and stared at me, then he said, "Nuwaybah." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, is Nuwaybah better or Nuwaybah worse?" He said, "Nuwaybah is better." Then he said, "If your arrow returns to you mentioning the name of Allah, then eat from it. And if you find something else to eat from the vessels of the disbelievers, then do not eat from them. But if you do not find anything else, then wash it intensely with water and then eat from it."

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي أَرْمِي بِقَوْسِي فَمِنْهُ مَا أُدْرِكُ ذَكَاتَهُ وَمِنْهُ مَا لَمْ أُدْرِكْ ذَكَاتَهُ مَاذَا يَحِلُّ لِي مِنْهُ وَمَاذَا يَحْرُمُ عَلَيَّ مِنْهُ وَأَنَا فِي أَرْضِ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ وَهُمْ يَأْكُلُونَ فِي آنِيَتِهِمْ الْخِنْزِيرَ وَيَشْرَبُونَ فِيهَا الْخَمْرَ فَآكُلُ فِيهَا وَأَشْرَبُ؟ قَالَ فَصَعَّدَ فِيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْبَصَرَ وَصَوَّبَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «نُوَيْبَةُ» فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ نويبة خَيْرٍ أَمْ نويبة شَرٍّ؟ قَالَ «بَل نويبة خَيْرٍ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «مَا رَدَّ إِلَيْكَ قَوْسُكَ فَذَكَرْتَ اسْمَ اللهِ مِنْهُ فَكُلْ وَإِنْ وَجَدْتَ عَنْ آنِيَةِ الْكُفَّارِ غِنًى فَلَا تَأْكُلْ فِيهَا وَإِنْ لَم تَجِدْ غِنًى فَارْحَضْهَا بِالْمَاءِ رَحْضًا شَدِيدًا ثُمَّ كُلْ فِيهَا»
