[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."  

الطبراني:١٨٨٨٦حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ دُحَيْمٍ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ ثَنَا أَبِي ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ شَابُورٍ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ عَنْ عُمَيْرِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيِّ قَالَ

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»

[Machine] "I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he looked at me attentively and then focused his gaze on me. He said, 'Do you have a trained dog?' I replied, 'O Messenger of Allah, I have a trained dog, but is it better to have a trained dog or an untrained one?' He said, 'Rather, it is better to have a trained dog.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, we are in a hunting land, so I send my trained dog, and sometimes he catches the game and sometimes he doesn't. And I shoot my arrow, and sometimes I hit the target and sometimes I miss it.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Whenever your hand, your bow, and your trained dog return to you with their respective shares, then all that you have obtained is lawful and permissible.'"

[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."
