Sahih MuslimHadith Number 1929d
وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، قَالَ وَأَخْبَرَنِي شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ، أَبِي السَّفَرِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الشَّعْبِيَّ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ عَدِيَّ بْنَ حَاتِمٍ، يَقُولُ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنِ الْمِعْرَاضِ . فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ .
`Adi bin Hatim Narrated from:
I asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about Mi'rad (i. e. hunting with the help of arrow having a stub end, and he stated the same (as we find in the previous hadith).

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1929d
This narration is short, but it is still linked to the Mi‘rad hunting hadith. Adi b. Hatim asked Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم about Mi‘rad, and the translation says he stated the same as found in the previous hadith. The direct topic is not a new hunting tool or a new condition. It points back to the difference between a strike that pierces and a strike that kills by a flat blow. For people searching Mi‘rad hunting hadith or halal hunting rules in Islam, this entry should be read with the report before it. Its value is that it confirms the same subject through another wording: the way the tool hits the animal matters when deciding whether the game may be eaten.
What we learn from this hadith
- This report is about asking the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم regarding Mi‘rad.
- It points back to the same ruling mentioned before it.
- The method of the strike matters in the hunting ruling.
- The narration does not add a new condition in the translation.
