The Book of Hunting and Slaughtering, and What Type of Animals Can Be Eaten.

`Adi bin Hatim Narrated from:

I said, "O Allâh's Messenger! We let loose our trained hounds after a game." He said, "Eat what they hunt for you." I said, "Even if they killed (the game)?" He replied, "Even if they killed (the game)." I said: "We also hit (the game) with the Mi'râd ?" He said, "Eat of the game which the Mi'râd kills by piercing its body, but do not eat of the game which is killed by the broad side of the Mi'râd." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 386, Vol. 7)

`Adi bin Hatim Narrated from:

I asked Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم "We hunt with the help of these hounds." He said, "If you let loose your trained hounds after a game, and mention the Name of Allâh, then you can eat what the hounds catches for you, even if they killed the game. But you should not eat of it if the hound has eaten of it, for, then it is likely that the hound has caught the game for itself. And if other hounds join your hound in hunting the game, then do not eat of it." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 392, Vol. 7 )

`Adi bin Hatim Narrated from:

I asked Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم about Al-Mi'râd (i.e. a sharp-edged piece of wood or a piece of wood provided with a sharp piece of iron used for hunting). He replied, "If the game is hit by its sharp edge, eat it, and if it is hit by its broad side, do not eat it, for it has been beaten to death."I asked, "O Allâh's Messenger! I release my hound by mentioning the Name of Allâh and find with it at the game, another hound on which I have not mentioned the Name of Allâh, and I do not know which one of them caught the game." Allâh's Messenger ﷺ said (to him), "Don't eat it, as you have mentioned the Name of Allâh on your hound and not on the other hound." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 270, Vol. 3 )

`Adi bin Hatim Narrated from:

I asked the Prophet ﷺ about the game killed by a Mi'râd. He said, "If the game is killed with its sharp edge, eat of it, but if it is killed with its shaft (i.e. 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 trained hound. He said, "If the hound catches the game for you, eat of it, for killing the game by the hound is like its slaughtering. But if you see with your hound or hounds another dog, and you are afraid that it might have shared in hunting the game with your hound and killed it, then you should not eat of it, because you have mentioned Allâh's Name on (sending) your hound, but you have not mentioned it on some other hound." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 384, vol. 7 )

`Adi bin Hatim Narrated from:

The Prophet ﷺ said, "If you let loose your hound after a game and mention Allâh's Name on sending it, and the hound catches the game and kills it, then you can eat of it. But if the hound eats of it, then you should not eat thereof, for the hound has caught it for itself. And if alongwith your hound, other hounds also joins and Allâh's Name was not mentioned at the time of their sending, and they catch a game and kill it, you should not eat of it, for you will not know which of them has killed the game.And if you have thrown an arrow at the game and then find it (dead) two or three days later and, it bears no mark other than the wound inflicted by your arrow, then you can eat of it. But if the game is found (dead) in water, then do not eat of it." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 393, Vol. 7 )

Abu Tha'labah Al-Khushani Narrated from:

I said, "O Allâh's Prophet! We are living in a land ruled by the people of the Scripture; Can we take our meals in their utensils? In that land there is plenty of game and I hunt the game with my bow and with my hound that is not trained and with my trained hound (as well). Then what is lawful for me to eat?"He said, "As for what you have mentioned about the people of the Scripture, if you can get utensils other than theirs, do not eat out of theirs, but if you cannot get other than theirs, wash their utensils and eat out of it. If you hunt a game with your bow after mentioning Allâh's Name, eat of it, and if you hunt something with your trained hound after mentioning Allâh's Name, eat of it, and if you hunt something with your untrained hound (and get it before it dies and) slaughter it, eat of it.” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 387, Vol. 7)

Abu Tha'laba Narrated from:

Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم forbade the eating of the meat of beasts of prey having fangs. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 438, Vol. 7)

Jabir bin `Abdullah Narrated from:

Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم sent us and we were three-hundred riders under the command of Abû 'Ubaïda bin Al-Jarrâh in order to watch the caravan of the Quraish pagans. We stayed at the sea-shore for half-a-month and were struck with such severe hunger that we ate even the Khabt (i.e. the leaves of the Salam, a thorny desert tree), and because of that, the army was known as Jaish-ul-Khabt.Then the sea threw out an animal (i.e. a fish) called Al-'Anbar and we ate of that for half-a-month, and rubbed its fat on our bodies till our bodies returned to their original state (i.e. became strong and healthy). Abû 'Ubaïda took one of its ribs, fixed it on the ground; then he went to the tallest man of his companions (to let him pass under the rib). [Once Sufyân said, “He took a rib from its parts and fixed it, and then took a man and camel and they passed from underneath it (without touching it).]Jâbir added: There was a man amongst the people who slaughtered three camels and then slaughtered another three camels and then slaughtered other three camels, and then Abû 'Ubaïda forbade him to do so. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 647, Vol. 5)

Narrated 'Alî bin Abî Tâlib رضي الله عنه : One the day of (the battle of) Khaibar, Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم forbade the Mut'a (i.e. temporary marriage) and the eating of donkey-meat. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 527, Vol. 5 )

Abu Tha'laba Narrated from:

Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم prohibited the eating of donkey's meat. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 435 (A), Vol. 7)
