It is narrated from Hazrat Adi bin Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him) that I presented myself in the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so he taught me about Islam and explained to me the manner of prayer, how to perform each prayer at its appointed time. Then he said to me, "O Ibn Hatim! What will your condition be when you will ride from the palaces of Yemen and you will fear none except Allah, until you will reach and settle in the palaces of Hira?" I said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Where will the brave and warlike people of the tribe of Tai go then?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Allah will suffice you against Banu Tai and others." Then I said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! We hunt with these dogs and hawks, so what is lawful for us from that?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: "Those dogs which are trained and can wound, and to whom you have taught that knowledge which Allah has taught you, then whatever they hunt for you, you may eat of it, and pronounce the name of Allah upon them." And he said, "If you have trained a dog or a hawk, then you release it taking the name of Allah, whatever it hunts for you, eat it." I asked, "Even if it kills the animal?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Yes! Even if it kills the animal, but it should not eat from it itself, because if it eats from it, then it has hunted for itself (therefore it is not lawful for you)." I asked, "Tell me, if some other dogs join our dog, then what is the ruling?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Do not eat from that hunt until you know that your dog alone hunted it." I said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! We shoot arrows with the broad side, so what is lawful for us from that?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Whatever animal you hit with the broad side of the arrow, do not eat it unless you slaughter it before its soul departs."
