It is narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Adi bin Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he taught me about Islam and explained to me how I should perform every prayer at its appointed time. Then he said to me: O Ibn Hatim! What will be your condition when you will ascend the forts of Yemen, and you will fear none except Allah, until you will descend into the forts of Hira? He says, I asked: Where will the horsemen and footmen (criminals) of the tribe of Tayy be? He said: Allah Almighty will suffice you against Tayy and other people. I said: O Messenger of Allah! We hunt with dogs and hawks, what is lawful for us from their catch? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The hunting dogs which you have trained, with the training Allah has given you, you may eat what they catch for you, provided you have mentioned the name of Allah over it. And if you release a dog or a hawk and mention the name of Allah, then whatever they catch and hold for you, eat it. I said: Even if they kill the prey? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Even if they kill it, as long as they have not eaten from it themselves, then they have caught it for you. I said: Now tell me, if when we release our dog, other dogs join it, then what is the ruling? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not eat the prey until you know that your dog alone caught it. I said: O Messenger of Allah! We hunt with the middle thick part of the arrow, what is lawful for us from it? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whatever prey dies from that part of the arrow, do not eat it, unless you slaughter it yourself.
