Hadith #509
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ عَدِي
ِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَرْضِي أَرْضُ صَيْدٍ قَالَ إِذَا أَرْسَلْتَ كَلْبَكَ وَسَمَّيْتَ فَكُلْ مَا أَمْسَكَ عَلَيْكَ كَلْبُكَ وَإِنْ قَتَلَ فَإِنْ أَكَلَ مِنْهُ فَلَا تَأْكُلْ فَإِنَّهُ إِنَّمَا أَمْسَكَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَإِذَا أَرْسَلْتَ كَلْبَكَ فَخَالَطَتْهُ أَكْلُبٌ لَمْ تُسَمِّ عَلَيْهَا فَلَا تَأْكُلْ فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَدْرِي أَيُّهَا قَتَلَهُ

ʿAbd al-Razzāq narrated to us, Maʿmar narrated to us, from ʿĀṣim ibn Sulaymān, from al-Shaʿbī, from ʿAdī ibn Ḥātim رضي الله عنه who said: I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, my land is a land of hunting.' He said: 'When you send your dog and name [Allah], eat what your dog catches for you, even if it kills. But if it eats from it, don't eat, for it only caught it for itself. And if you send your dog and other dogs that you did not name [Allah] over join it, don't eat, for you don't know which of them killed it.'
