It is narrated from Hazrat Adi bin Hatim Tai (may Allah be pleased with him): I asked the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about the game that dies due to the broad side of an arrow. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The game which you kill with the sharp edge of the arrow, you may eat it, but the one which you kill with the broad side of the arrow is considered as mauqoozah (an animal that dies due to a blow), so do not eat it.

It is narrated from Hazrat Adi bin Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him) that I asked the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "O Messenger of Allah, we release our trained dogs for hunting?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Eat what they catch for you." I asked, "Even if the dog kills it?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Yes, provided that no other dogs have joined with it." I asked about the game that dies by the broad side of an arrow, so the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "If you kill the game with the sharp edge of the arrow, you may eat it, but if it is killed by the broad side of the arrow, do not eat it."

It is narrated from Hazrat Adi (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There is not a single person among you except that his Lord will speak to him directly without any interpreter. He will look to his right and will see only what he has sent forth; he will look to his left and will see only what he has sent forth; and he will look in front of him and the Fire of Hell will confront him. Therefore, whoever among you can save himself from the Fire, even if it be by giving half a date in charity, then let him do so.

It is narrated from Hazrat Adi that once I submitted in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, "O Messenger of Allah! My father used to maintain ties of kinship and do such and such deeds." The Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Your father had one objective (fame) which he achieved." It is narrated from Hazrat Adi (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I submitted in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, "O Messenger of Allah! When we hunt, sometimes we do not find a knife, only a sharp stone or a stick with a sharp edge is available, so what should we do?" The Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Take the name of Allah and shed blood with whatever you wish." I submitted, "I ask you about that food which I leave only out of necessity." The Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Do not leave anything in which you appear to resemble Christianity."

It is narrated from Hazrat Adi (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught me about prayer and fasting and said, "Pray at such and such times, and fast. When the sun sets, eat and drink until the white thread becomes distinct and clear from the black thread before you." And keep thirty fasts unless the moon is sighted before that. So I took two threads, one black and one white, and placed them under a pillow. I kept looking at them, but the black thread did not become distinct from the white, nor the white from the black. When morning came, I presented myself before the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and related the whole incident. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Your pillow is indeed very wide; what is meant is the light of the day and the darkness of the night."

It is narrated from Hazrat Adi (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I submitted to the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that our area is a hunting area. One of us throws an arrow at the game, and the game remains hidden from him for a day or two, then he finds it and his arrow is lodged in its body. What is the ruling about it? The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If you see your arrow in it and no beast has eaten it, then you may eat it. The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain.

It is narrated from Hazrat Adi (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever among you can save himself from Hell, even if it be by giving only a piece of date, then he should do so.

Ibn Hudhaifah says that I learned a hadith from Hazrat ‘Adi bin Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him), so I thought that since he is in Kufa, I should go to him and listen to it directly from him. So I went to him and said,“I have learned a hadith attributed to you, but I want to hear it from you myself.”He said,“Very well. When I heard the news of the Prophet Muhammad’s (peace be upon him) declaration of prophethood, I was greatly displeased. I left my area and reached the border of Rome and went to Caesar, but upon reaching there, I felt even more displeasure than I had felt upon hearing the news of prophethood. I thought, ‘Let me go to this man and see for myself. If he is a liar, he cannot harm me, and if he is truthful, I will know.’ So I returned and went to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). When I arrived, people began to say, ‘Adi bin Hatim, Adi bin Hatim.’ I reached the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and he, may Allah have mercy on him, said to me, ‘O ‘Adi! Accept Islam and you will find peace.’ He repeated this three times. I said, ‘I am already following a religion.’ The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, ‘I know your religion better than you do.’ I said, ‘You know my religion better than I do?’ The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, ‘Yes! Are you not from the“Rukusiyyah”who consume a quarter of the spoils of your people?’ I said, ‘Why not?’ The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, ‘Even though this is not lawful in your religion.’ What the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said after this, I submitted to it. Then the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, ‘I know what is preventing you from accepting Islam. You think that the followers of this religion are weak and insignificant people whom the Arabs have rejected. Tell me, do you know the city of Hira?’ I said, ‘I have not seen it, but I have heard of it.’ The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, ‘By the One in whose hand is my soul, Allah will complete this religion until a woman will leave Hira and perform tawaf of the House of Allah without any guard, and soon the treasures of Kisra bin Hurmuz will be conquered.’ I asked in amazement, ‘Kisra bin Hurmuz?’ The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, ‘Yes! Kisra bin Hurmuz. And soon so much wealth will be spent that there will be no one left to accept it.’ Hazrat ‘Adi (may Allah be pleased with him) says, ‘Indeed, now a woman leaves Hira and performs tawaf of the House of Allah without any guard, and I myself was among those who conquered the treasures of Kisra bin Hurmuz. And by the One in whose hand is my soul, the third thing will also certainly occur, because the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) foretold it.’

It is narrated from Hazrat Adi bin Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If your hunted animal falls into water and drowns, then do not eat it.

It is narrated from Hazrat Adi bin Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to him and asked him for one hundred dirhams. He said, "You are only asking me for one hundred dirhams while I am the son of Hatim Tai. By Allah, I will not give you anything." Then he said, "I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever swears an oath about something and then sees something else as better, let him do that which is better (and offer expiation for his oath)."
