2848. It was reported from Bayān, from 'Āmir, from 'Adī bin Hātīm who said: "I asked the Messenger of Allāh ﷻ; I said: 'We hunt with these dogs.' He replied: 'If you set off your trained dogs and mention the Name of Allāh 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.'" (Saḥīḥ)
2848 - حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ بَيَانٍ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قُلْتُ: إِنَّا نَصِيدُ بِهَذِهِ الْكِلَابِ. فَقَالَ لِي: «إِذَا أَرْسَلْتَ كِلَابَكَ الْمُعَلَّمَةَ وَذَكَرْتَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهَا فَكُلْ مِمَّا أَمْسَكْنَ عَلَيْكَ، وَإِنْ قَتَلَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَأْكُلَ الْكَلْبُ فَإِنْ أَكَلَ الْكَلْبُ فَلَا تَأْكُلْ، فَإِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يَكُونَ إِنَّمَا أَمْسَكَهُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ»
