Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُجَالِدٌ عَنْ عَامِرٍ عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَعَلَّمَنِي الْإِسْلَامَ وَنَعَتَ لِي الصَّلَاةَ وَكَيْفَ أُصَلِّي كُلَّ صَلَاةٍ لِوَقْتِهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي كَيْفَ أَنْتَ يَا ابْنَ حَاتِمٍ إِذَا رَكِبْتَ مِنْ قُصُورِ الْيَمَنِ لَا تَخَافُ إِلَّا اللَّهَ حَتَّى تَنْزِلَ قُصُورَ الْحِيرَةِ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَيْنَ مَقَانِبُ طَيِّئٍ وَرِجَالُهَا قَالَ يَكْفِيكَ اللَّهُ طَيِّئًا وَمَنْ سِوَاهَا قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا قَوْمٌ نَتَصَيَّدُ بِهَذِهِ الْكِلَابِ وَالْبَزَاةِ فَمَا يَحِلُّ لَنَا مِنْهَا قَالَ يَحِلُّ لَكُمْ { مَا عَلَّمْتُمْ مِنْ الْجَوَارِحِ مُكَلِّبِينَ تُعَلِّمُونَهُنَّ مِمَّا عَلَّمَكُمْ اللَّهُ فَكُلُوا مِمَّا أَمْسَكْنَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَاذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ } فَمَا عَلَّمْتَ مِنْ كَلْبٍ أَوْ بَازٍ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلْتَ وَذَكَرْتَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَكُلْ مِمَّا أَمْسَكَ عَلَيْكَ قُلْتُ وَإِنْ قَتَلَ قَالَ وَإِنْ قَتَلَ وَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا فَإِنَّمَا أَمْسَكَهُ عَلَيْكَ قُلْتُ أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ خَالَطَ كِلَابَنَا كِلَابٌ أُخْرَى حِينَ نُرْسِلُهَا قَالَ لَا تَأْكُلْ حَتَّى تَعْلَمَ أَنَّ كَلْبَكَ هُوَ الَّذِي أَمْسَكَ عَلَيْكَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا قَوْمٌ نَرْمِي بِالْمِعْرَاضِ فَمَا يَحِلُّ لَنَا قَالَ لَا تَأْكُلْ مَا أَصَبْتَ بِالْمِعْرَاضِ إِلَّا مَا ذَكَّيْتَ.
English Translation
Abdullah ibn Numayr narrated to us: Mujalid narrated to us, from Amir, from Adi ibn Hatim, who said: I came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and he taught me Islam and described the prayer to me, and how I should pray each prayer at its time. Then he said to me: How will you be, O son of Hatim, when you ride out from the palaces of Yemen fearing none but Allah, until you alight at the palaces of al-Hirah? I said: O Messenger of Allah, then where are the raiding parties of Tayy and its men? He said: Allah will suffice you against Tayy and whoever else. I said: O Messenger of Allah, we are a people who hunt with these dogs and hawks - what is lawful for us from that? He said: Lawful for you is {what you have taught of trained beasts of prey, training them as Allah has taught you; so eat what they catch for you, and mention the name of Allah over it}. So whatever you have trained of a dog or a hawk, then release it and mention the name of Allah over it, eat what it catches for you. I said: Even if it kills it? He said: Even if it kills it, so long as it did not eat any of it, for it only caught it for you. I said: What do you think if other dogs mix with our dogs when we release them? He said: Do not eat until you know that it was your dog that caught it for you. I said: O Messenger of Allah, we are a people who shoot with the mi'rad (a blunt-headed arrow) - what is lawful for us? He said: Do not eat what you strike with the mi'rad except what you have properly slaughtered.
