Messenger of Allah (way peace be upon him) said to me: When you let off your dog, recite the name of Allah, and if it catches (game for you) and you find it alive, then slaughter it; if you find it killed and that (your dog) has eaten nothing out of that, (even then) you may eat it; but if you find along with your dog another dog, and (the game an) dead, then don't eat, for you do not know which of the two has killed it. And if you shoot your arrow, recite the name of Allah, but if it (game) goes out of your sight for a day and you do not find on that but the mark of your arrow, then eat that it you so like, but if you find it drowned in water, then don't eat that.  

لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَرْسَلْتَ كَلْبَكَ فَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ اللَّهِ فَإِنْ أَمْسَكَ عَلَيْكَ فَأَدْرَكْتَهُ حَيًّا فَاذْبَحْهُ وَإِنْ أَدْرَكْتَهُ قَدْ قَتَلَ وَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ مِنْهُ فَكُلْهُ وَإِنْ وَجَدْتَ مَعَ كَلْبِكَ كَلْبًا غَيْرَهُ وَقَدْ قَتَلَ فَلاَ تَأْكُلْ فَإِنَّكَ لاَ تَدْرِي أَيُّهُمَا قَتَلَهُ وَإِنْ رَمَيْتَ سَهْمَكَ فَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ اللَّهِ فَإِنْ غَابَ عَنْكَ يَوْمًا فَلَمْ تَجِدْ فِيهِ إِلاَّ أَثَرَ سَهْمِكَ فَكُلْ إِنْ شِئْتَ وَإِنْ وَجَدْتَهُ غَرِيقًا فِي الْمَاءِ فَلاَ تَأْكُلْ  

he asked the Messenger of Allah about hunting. He said: "When you release your dog, mention the name of Allah over him, and if you catch up with him and he has not killed (the game), then slaughter it and mention the name of Allah over it. If you catch up with him and he has killed (the game) but has not eaten any of it, then eat, for he caught it for you. If you find that the has eaten some of it, then do not eat any of it for he caught it for himself. If there are other dogs with your dog and they have killed (the game) but have not eaten any of it, then do not eat any of it, because you do not know which of them killed it."  

أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الصَّيْدِ فَقَالَ إِذَا أَرْسَلْتَ كَلْبَكَ فَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنْ أَدْرَكْتَهُ لَمْ يَقْتُلْ فَاذْبَحْ وَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَإِنْ أَدْرَكْتَهُ قَدْ قَتَلَ وَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ فَكُلْ فَقَدْ أَمْسَكَهُ عَلَيْكَ فَإِنْ وَجَدْتَهُ قَدْ أَكَلَ مِنْهُ فَلاَ تَطْعَمْ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا فَإِنَّمَا أَمْسَكَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَإِنْ خَالَطَ كَلْبُكَ كِلاَبًا فَقَتَلْنَ فَلَمْ يَأْكُلْنَ فَلاَ تَأْكُلْ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا فَإِنَّكَ لاَ تَدْرِي أَيُّهَا قَتَلَ  

[Machine] I said, "O Prophet of Allah, we are hunters." He replied, "When one of you throws his arrow, let him mention the name of Allah the Exalted. If he kills the prey, then let him eat it. But if he finds it dead in water, then he should not eat it, for he does not know whether the water caused its death. However, if he finds his arrow in the prey after a day or two and does not find any trace other than his arrow, then if he wishes, let him eat it." He said, "And when his dog is sent after it, let him mention the name of Allah. If he catches it and kills it, then let him eat it. But if the dog eats from it, then he should not eat it, for the dog has only held it for himself and did not catch it for him. And if his dog joins other dogs that he did not mention the name of Allah upon, then he should not eat it, for he does not know which one of them killed it."  

قُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ إِنَّا أَهْلُ صَيْدٍ فَقَالَ إِذَا رَمَى أَحَدُكُمْ بِسَهْمِهِ فَلْيَذْكُرْ اسْمَ اللهِ تَعَالَى فَإِنْ قَتَلَ فَلْيَأْكُلْ وَإِنْ وَقَعَ فِي مَاءٍ فَوَجَدَهُ مَيْتًا فَلَا يَأْكُلْهُ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَدْرِي لَعَلَّ الْمَاءَ قَتَلَهُ فَإِنْ وَجَدَ سَهْمَهُ فِي صَيْدٍ بَعْدَ يَوْمٍ أَوْ اثْنَيْنِ وَلَمْ يَجِدْ فِيهِ أَثَرًا غَيْرَ سَهْمِهِ فَإِنْ شَاءَ فَلْيَأْكُلْهُ قَالَ وَإِذَا أَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِ كَلْبَهُ فَلْيَذْكُرْ اسْمَ اللهِ ﷻ فَإِنْ أَدْرَكَهُ قَدْ قَتَلَهُ فَلْيَأْكُلْ وَإِنْ أَكَلَ مِنْهُ فَلَا يَأْكُلْ فَإِنَّهُ إِنَّمَا أَمْسَكَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَلَمْ يُمْسِكْ عَلَيْهِ وَإِنْ أَرْسَلَ كَلْبَهُ فَخَالَطَ كِلَابًا لَمْ يَذْكُرْ اسْمَ اللهِ عَلَيْهَا فَلَا يَأْكُلْ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَدْرِي أَيُّهَا قَتَلَهُ  

[Machine] Adi bin Hatim asked the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I shoot my arrow and it strikes the game, but I am unable to reach it until a day or two later." The Prophet said, "If you have the ability to reach it and there is no mark or injury on it except for your arrow, then it is permissible for you to eat it. But if you find a mark on it other than your arrow, then do not eat it. And if you send your dog and mention the name of Allah upon it, and you find it before it kills the game, then slaughter it. But if you find it after it has killed the game and it has not eaten from it, then you may eat it. And if you find it after it has eaten from it, then do not eat it, for it has held it for itself." Adi said, "I send my dogs and mention the name of Allah, and they mix with other dogs, so they take the game and kill it." The Prophet said, "Do not eat it, for you do not know whether it was killed by your dogs or by other dogs."  

أَنَّ عَدِيَّ بْنَ حَاتِمٍ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَرْمِي بِسَهْمِي فَأُصِيبُ فَلَا أَقْدِرُ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا بَعْدَ يَوْمٍ أَوِ اثْنَيْنِ قَالَ «إِنْ قَدَرْتَ عَلَيْهِ وَلَيْسَ بِهِ أَثَرٌ وَلَا خَدْشٌ إِلَّا رَمْيَتُكَ فَكُلْ وَإِنْ وَجَدْتَ بِهِ أَثَرًا غَيْرَ رَمْيَتِكَ فَلَا تَأْكُلْهُ وَإِنْ أَرْسَلْتَ كَلْبَكَ وَذَكَرْتَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَأَدْرَكْتَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقْتُلَهُ فَذَكِّهِ وَإِنْ أَدْرَكْتَهُ قَدْ قَتَلَهُ وَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا فَكُلْهُ وَإِنْ أَدْرَكْتَهُ وَقَدْ أَكَلَ مِنْهُ فَلَا تَأْكُلْ فَإِنَّهُ إِنَّمَا أَمْسَكَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ» قَالَ عَدِيٌّ فَإِنِّي أُرْسِلُ كِلَابِي وَأَذْكُرُ اسْمَ اللَّهِ فَتَخْتَلِطُ بِكِلَابِ غَيْرِي فَيَأْخُذْنَ الصَّيْدَ فَيَقْتُلْنَهُ قَالَ «فَلَا تَأْكُلْ فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَدْرِي كِلَابُكَ قَتَلَتْهُ أَمْ كِلَابُ غَيْرِكَ»

The Prophet ﷺ said, "If you let loose your hound after a game and mention Allah's Name on sending it, and the hound catches the game and kills it, then you can eat of it. But if the hound eats of it, then you should not eat thereof, for the hound has caught it for itself. And if along with your hound, joined other hounds, and Allah's Name was not mentioned at the time of their sending, and they catch an animal and kill it, you should not eat of it, for you will not know which of them has killed it. And if you have thrown an arrow at the game and then find it (dead) two or three days later and, it bears no mark other than the wound inflicted by your arrow, then you can eat of it. But if the game is found (dead) in water, then do not eat of it." (Using translation from Bukhārī 5484)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا أَرْسَلْتَ كَلْبَكَ فَسَمَّيْتَ فَأَمْسَكَ عَلَيْكَ فَقَتَلَ فَكُلْ فَإِنْ أَكَلَ مِنْهُ فَلَا تَأْكُلْ فَإِنَّمَا أَمْسَكَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَإِذَا خَالَطَ كِلَابًا لَمْ تَذْكُرِ اسْمَ اللهِ عَلَيْهَا فَأَمْسَكْنَ وَقَتَلْنَ فَلَا تَأْكُلْ فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَدْرِي أَيُّهَا قَتَلَ وَإِنْ رَمَيْتَ الصَّيْدَ فَوَجَدْتَهُ بَعْدَ يَوْمٍ أَوْ يَوْمَيْنِ لَيْسَ بِهِ إِلَّا أَثَرُ سَهْمِكَ فَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْ تَأْكُلَ فَكُلْ وَإِنْ وَقَعَ فِي الْمَاءِ فَلَا تَأْكُلْ

" إذا أرْسلتَ كلبكَ فاذكرْ اسم الله، فإن أمسك عليك فأدركتَه حيا فاذبَحهْ -فإنْ أدركتَه قد قَتَل ولم يأكلْ منه فكله- وإنْ وجدتَ مع كلبك كلبًا غيرهَ قد قَتَل فلا تأكلْ، فإنّك لا تدرى أيهُما قَتَله؟ وإنْ رميت بسهمك فاذكرْ اسم الله، فإن غابَ عنك يومًا فلم تجدْ فيه إلا أثرَ سهمك فكل إن شئتَ، وإن وجدته غريقًا في الماءِ فلا تأكلْ فإنك لا تدرى: الماءُ قتله أو سهمك؟
