17. Hunting
١٧۔ كِتَابُ الصَّيْدِ
"I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I release my trained dogs and they catch (game) for me; can I eat It? He said: 'When you release your trained dogs and they catch (game) for you, then eat.' I said: 'Even if they kill it.' He said: 'So long as no other dogs have joined them." I said: 'I shoot with the Mirad. And they penetrate (the game).' He said 'If they penetrate it, then eat, but if the broad said strikes it, then do not eat."" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4267)
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أُرْسِلُ كِلَابِي الْمُعَلَّمَةَ فَيُمْسِكْنَ عَلَيَّ فَآكُلُ؟ قَالَ «إِذَا أَرْسَلْتَ كِلَابِكَ الْمُعَلَّمَةَ فَأَمْسَكْنَ عَلَيْكَ فَكُلْ» وَإِنْ قَتَلْنَ؟ قَالَ «وَإِنْ قَتَلْنَ» قَالَ «مَا لَمْ يُشْرِكْهُنَّ كَلْبٌ مِنْ سِوَاهُنَّ» قُلْتُ أَرْمِي بِالْمِعْرَاضِ فَيَخْزِقُ قَالَ «إِنْ خَزَقَ فَكُلْ وَإِنْ أَصَابَ بِعَارِضَتِهِ فَلَا تَأْكُلْ»
