'Adi bin Hatim reported: I asked Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) about hunting. He said: When you shoot your arrow, recite the name of Allah, and if you find it (the arrow) killed (that), then eat, except when you find it fallen into water, for in that case you do not know whether it is water that caused its death or your arrow.

Abu Tha'laba al-Khushani reported: I came to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and said: Allah's Messenger, we are in the land of the People of the Book, (so) we eat in their utensils, and (live) in a hunting region where I hunt with the help of my bow, and hunt with my trained dog, or with my dog which is not trained. So inform me what is lawful (Halal) for us out of that. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Regarding what you have mentioned of the fact that you live in the land belonging to the People of the Book and so you eat in their utensils, but if you can get utensils other than theirs, then don't eat in them; but if you do not find any, then wash them and eat in them. And regarding what you have mentioned about (your living) in a hunting region, what you hunt, (strike) with the help of your bow, recite the name of Allah (while shooting an arrow) and then eat; and what you catch with the help of your trained dog, recite the name of Allah (while letting go the dog) and then eat it, and what you get with the help of your untrained dog, (if you find it alive) and slaughter it (according to the law of the Shari'ah), eat it.

Abu Tha'laba reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) having said this: If you shoot with your arrow and (the game) goes out of your sight and you find it (later on), then eat that if it has not gone rotten.

Abu Tha'laba reported Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying about one who comes three days later on the game he has shot: Eat it, provided it has not gone rotten.
