I said, "Messenger of Allah, I send out my trained dogs and they catch game for me, and I mention the name of Allah over them."He said, "When you send out your trained dog and mention the name of Allah over it, then eat what it catches."I asked, "Even if they kill the game?"He replied, "Even if they kill it, as long as no other dog has joined yours that was not sent with it."I said to him, "I sometimes shoot game with a featherless arrow and strike it."He said, "If you shoot with the featherless arrow and it pierces the game, then eat it. But if it strikes with its broad side, do not eat it."
قلت: يا رسول الله، إني أرسل الكلاب المعلمة فيمسكن علي، وأذكر اسم الله عليه فقال: إذا أرسلت كلبك المعلم وذكرت اسم الله عليه فكل قلت: وإن قتلن؟ قال: وإن قتلن، ما لم يشركها كلب ليس معها. قلت له: فإني أرمي بالمعراض الصيد فأصيب؟ فقال: إذا رميت بالمعراض فخزق فكله، وإن أصابه بعرضه فلا تأكله.
Bukhari narrated it in the Book of Sacrifices and Hunting (5477), and Muslim in the Book of Hunting and Sacrifices (1:1929), both through the route of Mansur, from Ibrahim, from Hammam bin Harith, from Adi bin Hatim, who said, and then he mentioned it. The wording given here is Muslim's, and Bukhari's version does not include, "as long as no other dog that was not with it joined it."As for his statement, "with the mirad," several interpretations have been given for it, but the well-known one is that it is a heavy piece of wood, the end of which is a stick with a sharpened tip, though it may sometimes not be sharpened. As for his statement "and it pierced," it is said that "the arrow pierced" (khazaqa) means it went through the game that was shot.
