5476. Narrated 'Adī bin Ḥātīm رضي الله عنه: I asked Allāh's Messenger ﷺ about Al-Mirād. He said, "If you hit the game with its sharp edge, eat it, but if Al-Mirād hits the game with its shaft with a hit by its broad side do not eat it, for it has been beaten to death with a piece of wood (i.e. unlawful)." I asked, "If I let loose my trained hound after a game?" He said, "If you let loose your trained hound after a game, and mention the Name of Allāh, then you can eat." I said, "If the hound eats of the game?" He said, "Then you should not eat of it, for the hound has hunted the game for itself and not for you." I said, "Sometimes I send my hound and then I find some other hound with it?" He said, "Don't eat the game, as you have mentioned the Name of Allāh on your hound only and not on the other."

5476 - حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي السَّفَرِ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَدِيَّ بْنَ حَاتِمٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ المِعْرَاضِ، فَقَالَ: «إِذَا أَصَبْتَ بِحَدِّهِ فَكُلْ، فَإِذَا أَصَابَ بِعَرْضِهِ فَقَتَلَ فَإِنَّهُ وَقِيذٌ فَلاَ تَأْكُلْ» فَقُلْتُ: أُرْسِلُ كَلْبِي؟ قَالَ: «إِذَا أَرْسَلْتَ كَلْبَكَ وَسَمَّيْتَ فَكُلْ» قُلْتُ: فَإِنْ أَكَلَ؟ قَالَ: «فَلاَ تَأْكُلْ، فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يُمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ، إِنَّمَا أَمْسَكَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ» قُلْتُ: أُرْسِلُ كَلْبِي فَأَجِدُ مَعَهُ كَلْبًا آخَرَ؟ قَالَ: «لاَ تَأْكُلْ، فَإِنَّكَ إِنَّمَا سَمَّيْتَ عَلَى كَلْبِكَ وَلَمْ تُسَمِّ عَلَى آخَرَ»
