Hunting from Sunan Abu Dawud
2844 It was
reported from Abu Hurairah, from the Prophet (saw), who said: “Anyone who
acquires a dog except for a dog for (herding) cattle, or hunting or farming (as
a guard dog), his reward will be diminished every day by one Qirat.” (Sahih)
2845 It was
reported from ‘Abdullah bin Mughaffal who said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw)
said: ‘If it was not that dogs were of the Ummah, I would have ordered them to
be killed. But kill the pure black ones among them.’” (Hasan)
2846 It was
reported from Abu Az-Zubair, from Jabir who said: “The Prophet of Allah (saw)
ordered us to kill dogs, even if a woman would bring a dog from the desert we
would kill it. Then later on he prohibited us from killing them, and said: ‘Stick
to the black ones.’” (Sahih)
2847 It was
reported from Hammam, from ‘Adi bin Hatim who said: “I asked the Prophet (saw);
and said: ‘I set off trained dogs and they catch (game) for me, can I eat it?’
He replied: ‘If you set off trained dogs and mention the Name of Allah, then
eat what they catch for you.’ I said: ‘Even if they killed (the game)?’ He
replied: ‘Even if they killed (the game), as long as they were not joined by
some other dog that was not among them.’ I said: ‘I shoot with the Mi’rad, and
it strikes the target, can I eat it?’ He replied: ‘If you shoot with a Mi’rad
and mention the Name of Allah, and it strikes the target and pierces it, eat
it, and if it strikes it with its blunt side then do not eat it.’” (Sahih)
2848 It was
reported from Bayan, from ‘Amir, from ‘Adi bin Hatim who said: “I asked the
Messenger of Allah (saw); I said: ‘We hunt with these dogs.’ He replied: ‘If
you set off your trained dogs and mention the Name of Allah on it, then eat
what they catch for you, even if it kills it, except if the dog eats from it.
If the dog eats from it, then do not eat, for I am afraid it has captured it
for itself.’” (Sahih)
2849 It was
reported from Hammad, from ‘Asim Al-Ahwal, from Ash-Sha’bi, from ‘Adi bin Hatim
that the Prophet (saw) said: “When you shoot your arrow and mention the Name of
Allah, and you find it (the game) the next day, and you did not find it (having
fallen) in the water, and there is no other mark aside from the mark of your
arrow, then eat it. But if some other dog joins your dogs then do not eat, for
you do not know, perhaps it was killed by one that was not yours.” (Sahih)
2850 It was
reported from Yahya bin Zakariyya bin Abi Za’idah, he said: “Asim Al-Ahwal
informed me, from Ash-Sha’bi, from ‘Adi bin Hatim that the Prophet (saw) said: ‘If
your target (animal) falls in the water, drowns and dies, then do not eat it.’”
(Sahih)
2851 It was
reported from Mujalid, from Ash-Sha’bi, from ‘Adi bin Hatim that the Prophet
(saw) said: “If you have a trained dog or a falcon and then you set it off, and
mention the Name of Allah; eat whatever it catches for you.” I said: “Even if
it kills it?” He said: “(Even) if it kills it, and has not eaten anything from
it, then it has caught it for you.” (Da’if)
Abu Dawud said: If a falcon eats from it, then there is
no harm in eating it, but if the dog eats from it then it is disliked, and it
is drinks the blood, then there is no harm.
2852 It was
reported from Bishr bin ‘Ubaidullah, from Abu Idris Al-Khawlani, from Abu Tha’labah
Al-Khushani who said: “The Prophet (saw) said, about the game hunted by a dog: ‘If
you set off your dog and mention the Name of Allah, the Exalted, then eat it,
even if it eats from it, and eat whatever is returned to you by your hands.’”
(Hasan)
2853 It was
reported from Dawud, from ‘Amir, from ‘Adi bin Hatim that he said: “O Messenger
of Allah! One of us shoots game, and then he tracks it for two or three days
and finds it dead, and his arrow is in it; can he eat it?” He said: “Yes, if he
wants to,” or he said: “He can eat it, if he wants to.” (Sahih)
2854 It was
reported from ‘Abdullah bin Abi As-Safar, from Ash-Sha’bi, who said: “ ‘Adi bin
Hatim said: ‘I asked the Prophet (saw) about the Mi’rad. He replied: “If it
strikes with the sharp end then eat it, and if it strikes with the blunt side
then do not eat it, for it died from a blow.” I said: “What about when I set
off my dog?” He replied: “If you mention the Name of Allah, then eat, otherwise
do not eat. And if it eats from it, then do not eat, for it has caught it for
itself.” I said: “I set off my dog and find another dog with it.” He (saw)
replied: “Do not eat, for you have mentioned Allah’s Name for your dog only.”
(Sahih)
2855 It was
reported from Rabi’ah bin Yazid Ad-Dimashqi that he said: “Abu Idris
Al-Khawlani ‘Aidhullah informed me, he said: ‘Abu Tha’labah Al-Khushani said: “I
said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! I hunt with my trained dog and with my untrained
dog?’ He replied: ‘What you hunt with your trained dog, mention Allah’s Name,
and eat, and what you hunt with your untrained dog, if you manage to slaughter
it, then eat it.” (Sahih)
2856 It was
reported from Yunus bin Saif who said: “Abu Idris Al-Khawlani said: ‘Abu Tha’labah
Al-Khushani said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) said to me: ‘O Abu Tha’labah!
Eat from what you retrieve by your bow and your dog.’ Ibn Harb (one of the
narrators) added: “The trained (dog), and your hand, eat it whether it is
slaughtered or not slaughtered.” (Sahih)
2857 It was
reported by ‘Amr bin Shu’aib from his father, from his grandfather, that a
Bedouin called Abu Tha’labah said: “O Messenger of Allah! I have trained dogs,
so give me a Fatwa regarding hunting with them.” The Prophet (saw) replied: “If
you have trained dogs then eat what they catch for you.” He said: “Slaughtered
or not slaughtered?” He replied: “Yes.” He said: “What about if it eats from
it?” He replied: “Even if it eats from it.” He said: “O Messenger of Allah!
Give me a Fatwa regarding my bow.” He replied: “Eat from what you retrieve with
your bow.” He said: “Slaughtered and not slaughtered?” And he added: “And even
if it goes out of my sight?” He replied: “Even if it goes out of your sight,
provided it does not have stench, or you find a mark from other than your arrow
in it.” He said: “Give me a Fatwa regarding the vessels of the Zoroastrians
when we are forced to use them.” He replied: Wash it and eat in it.” (Hasan)
2858 It was
reported from Abu Waqid who said: “The Prophet (saw) said: ‘Whatever is cut off
an animal while it is alive, then it is dead flesh (Maitah).’” (Hasan)
2859 It was
reported from Sufyan who said: “Abu Musa narrated to me from Wahb bin Munabbih,
from Ibn ‘Abbas, from the Prophet (saw) – and one time Sufyan said: “And I do
not know it to be except from the Prophet (saw)” – he said: “He who resides in
the desert will become ill-mannered, and he who follows game will become heedless,
and he who visits the Sultan (ruler) will be tried.” (Hasan)
2860 It was
reported from ‘Adi bin Thabit, from a Shaikh from the Ansar, from Abu Hurairah,
from the Prophet (saw) – with the meaning of what was narrated by Musad-dad (a
narrator in no. 2859) – He said: “He who clings to the Sultan (ruler) will be
tried.” – he added: “A worshipper does not get nearer to the Sultan (ruler)
except that he increases in distance from Allah.” (Da’if)
2861 It was
reported from Abu Tha’labah Al-Khushani, from the Prophet (saw) [that he said]:
“If you shoot a game, and then find it after three nights with your arrow in
it, then eat it, provided it does not stink.” (Sahih)
