[Machine] I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about hunting with a dog. He said, "If you send your dog and name it, and it catches and kills prey, then eat from it. But if it eats from the prey, do not eat from it, for it has held it for itself."  

الطبراني:١٤٢٧٨حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زُرْعَةَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الدِّمَشْقِيُّ ثَنَا آدَمُ بْنُ أَبِي إِيَاسَ ثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ مُجَالِدٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ قَالَ

سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ صَيْدِ الْكَلْبِ؟ فَقَالَ «إِذَا أَرْسَلْتَ كَلْبَكَ وَسَمَّيْتَ فَأَخَذَ فَقَتَلَ فَكُلْ فَإِنْ أَكَلَ مِنْهُ فَلَا تَأْكُلْ فَإِنَّمَا أمْسَكَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ»

bukhari:175Ḥafṣ b. ʿUmar > Shuʿbah > Ibn Abū al-Safar > al-Shaʿbī > ʿAdī b. Ḥātim

I asked the Prophet (about the hunting dogs) and he replied, "If you let loose (with Allah's name) your tamed dog after a game and it hunts it, you may eat it, but if the dog eats of (that game) then do not eat it because the dog has hunted it for itself." I further said, "Sometimes I send my dog for hunting and find another dog with it. He said, "Do not eat the game for you have mentioned Allah's name only on sending your dog and not the other dog."

سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِذَا أَرْسَلْتَ كَلْبَكَ الْمُعَلَّمَ فَقَتَلَ فَكُلْ وَإِذَا أَكَلَ فَلاَ تَأْكُلْ فَإِنَّمَا أَمْسَكَهُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ قُلْتُ أُرْسِلُ كَلْبِي فَأَجِدُ مَعَهُ كَلْبًا آخَرَ قَالَ فَلاَ تَأْكُلْ فَإِنَّمَا سَمَّيْتَ عَلَى كَلْبِكَ وَلَمْ تُسَمِّ عَلَى كَلْبٍ آخَرَ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If you send the dog and it eats from the prey, then do not eat from it, for it only held onto itself. But if you send it and it kills without eating, then eat from it, for it only held onto its owner."

" إذا أرْسلت كلبَك فأكل الصيدَ- فلا تأكلْ؛ فإنّما أمْسك على نفسِه؛ وإذَا أرسلته فقَتَلَ ولم يأكلْ فكُلْ، فإنما أمسَكَ على صاحبه".
