التَّسْمِيَةِ عَلَى الصَّيْدِ

The mentioning of Allah's Name while hunting

5475

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّاءُ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ صَيْدِ الْمِعْرَاضِ قَالَ ‏"‏ مَا أَصَابَ بِحَدِّهِ فَكُلْهُ، وَمَا أَصَابَ بِعَرْضِهِ فَهْوَ وَقِيذٌ ‏"‏‏.‏ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ صَيْدِ الْكَلْبِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَا أَمْسَكَ عَلَيْكَ فَكُلْ، فَإِنَّ أَخْذَ الْكَلْبِ ذَكَاةٌ، وَإِنْ وَجَدْتَ مَعَ كَلْبِكَ أَوْ كِلاَبِكَ كَلْبًا غَيْرَهُ فَخَشِيتَ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَخَذَهُ مَعَهُ، وَقَدْ قَتَلَهُ، فَلاَ تَأْكُلْ، فَإِنَّمَا ذَكَرْتَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَى كَلْبِكَ وَلَمْ تَذْكُرْهُ عَلَى غَيْرِهِ ‏"‏‏.‏

Narrated Adi bin Hatim: I asked the Prophet (ﷺ) about the game killed by a Mi'rad (i.e. a sharp-edged piece of wood or a piece ofwood provided with a sharp piece of iron used for hunting). He said, "If the game is killed with itssharp edge, eat of it, but if it is killed with its shaft, with a hit by its broad side then the game is(unlawful to eat) for it has been beaten to death." I asked him about the game killed by a trainedhound. He said, "If the hound catches the game for you, eat of it, for killing the game by the hound, islike its slaughtering. But if you see with your hound or hounds another dog, and you are afraid that itmight have shared in hunting the game with your hound and killed it, then you should not eat of it,because you have mentioned Allah's name on (sending) your hound only, but you have not mentionedit on some other hound.

The game killed by the Mi'rad

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي السَّفَرِ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَدِيَّ بْنَ حَاتِمٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنِ الْمِعْرَاضِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِذَا أَصَبْتَ بِحَدِّهِ فَكُلْ، فَإِذَا أَصَابَ بِعَرْضِهِ فَقَتَلَ فَإِنَّهُ وَقِيذٌ، فَلاَ تَأْكُلْ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ أُرْسِلُ كَلْبِي‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِذَا أَرْسَلْتَ كَلْبَكَ وَسَمَّيْتَ، فَكُلْ ‏"‏‏.‏ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ أَكَلَ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَلاَ تَأْكُلْ، فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يُمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ، إِنَّمَا أَمْسَكَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ ‏"‏‏.‏ قُلْتُ أُرْسِلُ كَلْبِي فَأَجِدُ مَعَهُ كَلْبًا آخَرَ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ تَأْكُلْ، فَإِنَّكَ إِنَّمَا سَمَّيْتَ عَلَى كَلْبِكَ، وَلَمْ تُسَمِّ عَلَى آخَرَ ‏"‏‏.‏

Narrated `Adi bin Hatim: I asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about the Mi'rad. He said, "If you hit the game with its sharp edge, eat it, but ifthe Mi'rad hits the game with its shaft with a hit by its broad side do not eat it, for it has been beaten todeath with a piece of wood. (i.e. unlawful)." I asked, "If I let loose my trained hound after a game?"He said, "If you let loose your trained hound after game, and mention the name of Allah, then you caneat." I said, "If the hound eats of the game?" He said "Then you should not eat of it, for the hound hashunted the game for itself and not for you." I said, "Some times I send my hound and then I find someother hound with it?" He said "Don't eat the game, as you have mentioned the Name of Allah on yourdog only and not on the other."

Narrated Adi bin Hatim: I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! We let loose our trained hounds after a game?" He said, "Eat what theyhunt for you." I said, "Even if they killed (the game)?" He replied, 'Even if they killed (the game)." Isaid, 'We also hit (the game) with the Mi'rad?" He said, "Eat of the animal which the Mi'rad kills bypiercing its body, but do not eat of the animal which is killed by the broad side of the Mi'rad.''

About hunting with a bow

5478

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ أَبِي ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيِّ، قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ إِنَّا بِأَرْضِ قَوْمٍ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ، أَفَنَأْكُلُ فِي آنِيَتِهِمْ وَبِأَرْضِ صَيْدٍ، أَصِيدُ بِقَوْسِي وَبِكَلْبِي الَّذِي لَيْسَ بِمُعَلَّمٍ، وَبِكَلْبِي الْمُعَلَّمِ، فَمَا يَصْلُحُ لِي قَالَ ‏ ‏ أَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ فَإِنْ وَجَدْتُمْ غَيْرَهَا فَلاَ تَأْكُلُوا فِيهَا، وَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدُوا فَاغْسِلُوهَا وَكُلُوا فِيهَا، وَمَا صِدْتَ بِقَوْسِكَ فَذَكَرْتَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ فَكُلْ، وَمَا صِدْتَ بِكَلْبِكَ الْمُعَلَّمِ فَذَكَرْتَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ فَكُلْ، وَمَا صِدْتَ بِكَلْبِكَ غَيْرَ مُعَلَّمٍ فَأَدْرَكْتَ ذَكَاتَهُ فَكُلْ ‏‏‏.‏

Narrated Abu Tha`laba Al-Khushani: I said, "O Allah's Prophet! We are living in a land ruled by the people of the Scripture; Can we takeour meals in their utensils? In that land there is plenty of game and I hunt the game with my bow andwith my hound that is not trained and with my trained hound. Then what is lawful for me to eat?" Hesaid, "As for what you have mentioned about the people of the Scripture, if you can get utensils otherthan theirs, do not eat out of theirs, but if you cannot get other than theirs, wash their utensils and eatout of it. If you hunt an animal with your bow after mentioning Allah's Name, eat of it. and if you huntsomething with your trained hound after mentioning Allah's Name, eat of it, and if you huntsomething with your untrained hound (and get it before it dies) and slaughter it, eat of it."

Narrated `Abdullah bin Maghaffal: that he saw a man throwing stones with two fingers (at something) and said to him, "Do not throwstones, for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) has forbidden throwing stones, or he used to dislike it." `Abdullah added:Throwing stones will neither hunt the game, nor kill (or hurt) an enemy, but it may break a tooth orgouge out an eye." Afterwards `Abdullah once again saw the man throwing stones. He said to him, "Itell you that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) has forbidden or disliked the throwing the stones (in such a way), yet youare throwing stones! I shall not talk to you for such-and-such a period."

Narrated `Adi bin Hatim: I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I let loose my hound after a game and mention Allah's Name on sendingit." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If you let loose your hound after a game and you mention Allah's Name onsending it and the hound catches and kills the game and eats of it, then you should not eat of it, for ithas killed it for itself." I said, "Sometimes when I send my hound after a game, I find another houndalong with it and I do not know which of them has caught the game." He said, "You must not eat of itbecause you have not mentioned, the Name of Allah except on sending your own hound, and you didnot mention it on the other hound." Then I asked him about the game hunted with a Mi'rad (i.e. asharp edged piece of wood or a piece of wood provided with a sharp piece of iron used for hunting).He said, "If the game is killed with its sharp edge, you can eat of it, but if it is killed by its broad side(shaft), you cannot eat of it, for then it is like an animal beaten to death with a piece of wood."

Narrated Abu Tha`laba Al-Khushani: I came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! We are living in the land of the people of theScripture and we take our meals in their utensils, and in the land there is game and I hunt with my bowand trained or untrained hounds; please tell me what is lawful for us of that." He said, "As for yoursaying that you are living in the land of the people of the Scripture and that you eat in their utensils, ifyou can get utensils other than theirs, do not eat in their utensils, but if you do not find (other thantheirs), then wash their utensils and eat in them. As for your saying that you are in the land of game, ifyou hung something with your bow, and have mentioned Allah's Name while hunting, then you caneat (the game). And if you hunt something with your trained hound, and have mentioned Allah'sName on sending it for hunting then you can eat (the game). But if you hunt something with youruntrained hound and you were able to slaughter it before its death, you can eat of it."

I asked my companions,"What is that?" They said, "We do not know." I said, "It is an onager.' They said, "It is what you haveseen." I had left my whip, so I said to them, "Hand to me my whip." They said, "We will not help youin that (in hunting the onager)." I got down, took my whip and chased the animal (on my horse) anddid not stop till I killed it. I went to them and said, "Come on, carry it!" But they said, "We will noteven touch it." At last I alone carried it and brought it to them. Some of them ate of it and somerefused to eat of it.

Narrated Jabir: We went out in a campaign and the army was called The Army of the Khabt, and Abu 'Ubaida wasour commander. We were struck with severe hunger. Then the sea threw a huge dead fish called Al-`Anbar, the like of which had never been seen.

Narrated Jabir: The Prophet (ﷺ) sent us as an army unit of three hundred warriors under the command of Abu 'Ubaida toambush a caravan of the Quraish. But we were struck with such severe hunger that we ate the Khabt(desert bushes), so our army was called the Army of the Khabt. Then the sea threw a huge fish calledAl-`Anbar and we ate of it for half a month and rubbed our bodies with its fat till our bodies becamehealthy. Then Abu Ubaida took one of its ribs and fixed it over the ground and a rider passedunderneath it. There was a man amongst us who slaughtered three camels when hunger becamesevere, and he slaughtered three more, but after that Abu 'Ubaida forbade him to do so.

The Prophet (ﷺ) was behind all the people.The people hurried and fixed the cooking pots (for cooking) but the Prophet (ﷺ) came there and orderedthat the cooking pots be turned upside down. Then he distributed the animals, regarding ten sheep asequal to one camel. One of the camels ran away and there were a few horses with the people. Theychased the camel but they got tired, whereupon a man shot it with an arrow whereby Allah stopped it.The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Among these animals some are as wild as wild beasts, so if one of them runs awayfrom you, treat it in this way." I said. "We hope, or we are afraid that tomorrow we will meet theenemy and we have no knives, shall we slaughter (our animals) with canes?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If thekilling tool causes blood to gush out and if Allah's Name is mentioned, eat (of the slaughterer animal).But do not slaughter with a tooth or a nail. I am telling you why: A tooth is a bone, and the nail is theknife of Ethiopians."

Narrated Zahdam: We were in the company of Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari and there were friendly relations between us andthis tribe of Jarm. Abu Musa was presented with a dish containing chicken. Among the people therewas sitting a red-faced man who did not come near the food. Abu Musa said (to him), "Come on (andeat), for I have seen Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) eating of it (i.e. chicken)." He said, "I have seen it eatingsomething (dirty) and since then I have disliked it, and have taken an oath that I shall not eat it ' AbuMusa said, "Come on, I will tell you (or narrate to you). Once I went to Allah s Apostle with a groupof Al-Ash`ariyin, and met him while he was angry, distributing some camels of rak`at. We asked formounts but he took an oath that he would not give us any mounts, and added, 'I have nothing to mountyou on' In the meantime some camels of booty were brought to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and he asked twice,'Where are Al-Ash`ariyin?" So he gave us five white camels with big humps. We stayed for a shortwhile (after we had covered a little distance), and then I said to my companions, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) hasforgotten his oath. By Allah, if we do not remind Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) of his oath, we will never besuccessful." So we returned to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! We asked you for mounts,but you took an oath that you would not give us any mounts; we think that you have forgotten youroath.' He said, 'It is Allah Who has given you mounts. By Allah, and Allah willing, if I take an oathand later find something else better than that. then I do what is better and expiate my oath.' "

I will tell you why: As for the tooth, it is a bone; and as for the nail, it is the knife of Ethiopians."The quick ones among the people got the war booty while the Prophet (ﷺ) was behind the people. So theyplaced the cooking pots on the fire, but the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered the cooking pots to be turned upsidedown. Then he distributed (the war booty) among them, considering one camel as equal to ten sheep.Then a camel belonging to the first party of people ran away and they had no horses with them, so aman shot it with an arrow whereby Allah stopped it. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Of these animals there aresome which are as wild as wild beasts. So, if anyone of them runs away like this, do like this (shoot itwith an arrow).

Sometimes when we are in battles or on a journey we want to slaughter (animals) but wehave no knives." He said, "Listen! If you slaughter the animal with anything that causes its blood toflow out, and if Allah's Name is mentioned on slaughtering it, eat of it, provided that the slaughteringinstrument is not a tooth or a nail, as the tooth is a bone and the nail is the knife of Ethiopians."
