7. Book of Hunting
٧۔ كِتَابُ الصَّيْدِ
[Machine] I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about hunting with a dog, and he said, "Whatever your dog hunts and you are able to catch, then eat it, for its catch is a gift for you. But if you find another dog with it and you fear that it may have killed it, then do not eat it, for you only mentioned the name of Allah on your own dog and did not mention it on any other."
سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ صَيْدِ الْكَلْبِ فَقَالَ «مَا أَمْسَكَ عَلَيْكَ كَلْبُكَ فَكُلْ فَإِنَّ أَخْذَهُ ذَكَاتُهُ وَإِنْ وَجَدْتَ مَعَهُ كَلْبًا فَخَشِيتَ أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدْ أَخَذَهُ مَعَهُ وَقَدْ قَتَلَهُ فَلَا تَأْكُلْهُ فَإِنَّكَ إِنَّمَا ذَكَرْتَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَى كَلْبِكَ وَلَمْ تَذْكُرْهُ عَلَى غَيْرِهِ»
[Machine] I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about hunting with throwing arrows, so he mentioned something similar to it.
سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ صَيْدِ الْمِعْرَاضِ فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ
7.2 [Machine] In acquiring a hunting dog, and livestock.
٧۔٢ بَابٌ فِي اقْتِنَاءِ كَلْبِ الصَّيْدِ، والْمَاشِيَةِ
Ibn 'Umar reported Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying He who kept a dog other than one meant for hunting or for watching the herd lost out of his deeds (equal to) two qirat every day. (Using translation from Muslim 1574c)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ اقْتَنَى كَلْبًا إِلَّا كَلْبَ صَيْدٍ أَوْ مَاشِيَةٍ نَقَصَ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ قِيرَاطَانِ»
“I heard the Prophet ﷺ say: ‘Whoever keeps a dog that he does not need for farming or herding, one Qirat will be deducted from his (good) deeds each day.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3206)
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ اقْتَنَى كَلْبًا لَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ زَرْعًا وَلَا ضَرْعًا نَقَصَ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ قِيرَاطٌ» قَالُوا أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ إِي وَرَبِّ هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ ordered the killing of dogs, then he said, "What is the matter with me and the dogs?" Then he permitted the keeping of farm dogs and hunting dogs.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِ الْكِلَابِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «مَالِي وَلِلْكِلَابِ؟» ثُمَّ رَخَّصَ فِي كَلْبِ الزَّرْعِ وَكَلْبِ الصَّيْدِ
7.3 [Machine] In the killing of the dogs
٧۔٣ بَابٌ فِي قَتْلِ الْكِلَابِ
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded that dogs be killed.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3202)
«أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِقَتْلِ الْكِلَابِ»
The Prophet ﷺ said: Were dogs not a species of creature I should command that they all be killed; but kill every pure black one. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2845)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَوْلَا أَنَّ الْكِلَابَ أُمَّةٌ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ لَأَمَرْتُ بِقَتْلِهَا كُلِّهَا وَلَكِنِ اقْتُلُوا مِنْهَا كُلَّ أَسْوَدَ بَهِيمٍ» قَالَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ «الْبَهِيمُ الْأَسْوَدُ كُلُّهُ»
7.4 [Machine] In the market of exhibitions
٧۔٤ بَابٌ فِي صَيْدِ الْمِعْرَاضِ
" I heard 'Adiyy bin Hatim say: 'I asked the Messenger of Allah about the Mirad and he said: "If the sharp point hits 9the game) then eat, bu8t if the broad edge of it hits it, and it is killed, then it has been killed by a blow, so do not eat." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4306)
سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنِ الْمِعْرَاضِ فَقَالَ «إِذَا أَصَابَ بِحَدِّهِ فَكُلْ وَإِذَا أَصَابَ بِعَرْضِهِ فَقَتَلَ فَإِنَّهُ وَقِيذٌ فَلَا تَأْكُلْ»
7.5 [Machine] In eating locusts.
٧۔٥ بَابٌ فِي أَكْلِ الْجَرَادِ
We went on seven expeditions with Messenger of Allah ﷺ and ate locusts. (Using translation from Muslim 1952a)
«غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَبْعَ غَزَوَاتٍ نَأْكُلُ الْجَرَادَ»
7.6 [Machine] In sea hunting
٧۔٦ بَابٌ فِي صَيْدِ الْبَحْرِ
A man asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: Messenger of Allah, we travel on the sea and take a small quantity of water with us. If we use this for ablution, we would suffer from thirst. Can we perform ablution with sea water? The Messenger ﷺ replied: Its water is pure and what dies in it is lawful food. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 83)
أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّا نَرْكَبُ الْبَحْرَ وَنَحْمِلُ مَعَنَا الْقَلِيلَ مِنَ الْمَاءِ فَإِنْ تَوَضَّأْنَا بِهِ عَطِشْنَا أَفَنَتَوَضَّأُ مِنْ مَاءِ الْبَحْرِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «هُوَ الطَّهُورُ مَاؤُهُ الْحِلُّ مَيْتَتُهُ»
[Machine] "We were sent the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with three hundred men, and we suffered from hunger until we reached the sea. There, a creature was thrown at us and we ate from it until our bodies were satisfied. Abu Ubaidah took a rib from it and placed it. Then, the longest man in the army carried it on the greatest camel in the army, and it passed under it." This is its meaning.
«بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي ثَلَاثِ مِائَةٍ فَأَصَابَنَا جُوعٌ حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا الْبَحْرَ وَقَدْ قَذَفَ دَابَّةً فَأَكَلْنَا مِنْهَا حَتَّى ثَابَتْ أَجْسَامُنَا فَأَخَذَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ ضِلْعًا مِنْ أَضْلَاعِهَا فَوَضَعَهُ ثُمَّ حَمَلَ أَطْوَلَ رَجُلٍ فِي الْجَيْشِ عَلَى أَعْظَمِ بَعِيرٍ فِي الْجَيْشِ فَمَرَّ تَحْتَهُ» هَذَا مَعْنَاهُ
7.7 [Machine] In eating rabbits
٧۔٧ بَابٌ فِي أَكْلِ الْأَرْنَبِ
[Machine] He informed me, he said, "I heard Anas ibn Malik say, 'We captured a rabbit while we were passing by Aldhahran. The people rushed and scared it away, but I caught it and brought it to Abu Talha. He slaughtered it and sent its forelegs or hindlegs as a gift to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ .' So he accepted it."
أَخْبَرَنِي قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ أَنْفَجْنَا أَرْنَبًا وَنَحْنُ بِمَرِّ الظَّهْرَانِ فَسَعَى الْقَوْمُ فَلَغِبُوا فَأَخَذْتُهَا وَجِئْتُ بِهَا إِلَى أَبِي طَلْحَةَ فَذَبَحَهَا وَبَعَثَ بِوَرِكَيْهَا أَوْ فَخِذَيْهَا شَكَّ شُعْبَةُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فَقَبِلَهَا»
“O Messenger of Allah, I caught these two rabbits but I cannot find any iron* with which to slaughter them with Marwah** and eat them?” He said: “Eat.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3244)
أَنَّهُ مَرَّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِأَرْنَبَيْنِ مُعَلِّقُهُمَا فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي دَخَلْتُ غَنَمَ أَهْلِي فَاصْطَدْتُ هَذَيْنِ الْأَرْنَبَيْنِ فَلَمْ أَجِدْ حَدِيدَةً أُذَكِّيهِمَا بِهَا فَذَكَّيْتُهُمَا بِمَرْوَةٍ أَفَآكُلُ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ»
7.8 [Machine] In eating the lizard
٧۔٨ بَابٌ فِي أَكْلِ الضَّبِّ
Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about the eating of (the flesh) of the lizard, whereupon he said: I am neither the eater of it nor its prohibitor. (Using translation from Muslim 1943a)
سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنِ الضَّبِّ فَقَالَ «لَسْتُ بِآكِلِهِ وَلَا مُحَرِّمِهِ»
a man brought a mastigure to the Prophet and he said? "A nation was transformed, and Allah knows best " (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4322)
أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِضَبٍّ فَقَالَ «أُمَّةٌ مُسِخَتْ وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ»
Messenger of Allah, it is a lizard. Messenger of Allah ﷺ withdrew his hand, whereupon Khalid b. Walid said: Messenger of Allah, is a lizard forbidden? There opon he said: No, but it is not found in the land of my people, and I feel that I have no liking for it. Khalid said: I then chewed and ate it, and Messenger of Allah ﷺ was looking at me and he did not forbid (me to eat it). (Using translation from Muslim 1946a)
أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهِيَ خَالَتُهُ وَخَالَةُ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَوَجَدَ عِنْدَهَا ضَبًّا مَحْنُوذًا قَدِمَتْ بِهِ أُخْتُهَا حُفَيْدَةُ بِنْتُ الْحَارِثِ مِنْ نَجْدٍ فَقَدَّمَتِ الضَّبَّ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكَانَ قَلَّمَا يُقَدِّمُ يَدَهُ لِطَعَامٍ حَتَّى يُحَدَّثَ بِهِ وَيُسَمَّى لَهُ فَأَهْوَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدَهُ إِلَى الضَّبِّ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ نِسْوَةِ الْحُضُورِ أَخْبِرْنَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا قَدَّمْتُنَّ لَهُ قُلْنَ هَذَا الضَّبُّ فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدَهُ فَقَالَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ أَتُحَرِّمُ الضَّبَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «لَا وَلَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِأَرْضِ قَوْمِي فَأَجِدُنِي أَعَافُهُ» قَالَ خَالِدٌ فَاجْتَرَرْتُهُ فَأَكَلْتُهُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَنْظُرُ فَلَمْ يَنْهَنِي
7.9 [Machine] In hunting, the organ is revealed from it.
٧۔٩ بَابٌ فِي الصَّيْدِ يَبِينُ مِنْهُ الْعُضْوُ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ arrived in Medina and the people were slaughtering camels and sheep. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whatever is cut from an animal while it is still alive is considered dead meat."
قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ وَالنَّاسُ يَجُبُّونَ أَسْنِمَةَ الْإِبِلِ وَأَلْيَاتِ الْغَنَمِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا قُطِعَ مِنْ بَهِيمَةٍ وَهِيَ حَيَّةٌ فَهُوَ مَيْتَةٌ»
