3183. It was narrated that Rāfi' bin Khadij said: "We were with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey, and a camel ran away. A man shot an arrow at it and the Prophet ﷺ said: 'It has the inclination to run away like a wild animal. If this happens to any of you, do likewise.'" (Sahih)

Commentary
a. "Ran away" means an animal that has escaped from its owner and can not be caught.
b. If an arrow is shot after mentioning Allāh's Name on a runaway animal that cannot be controlled, then the ruling of game is applied to it, i.e., if it dies before reaching it then it is lawful; if it is alive then it should be slaughtered after mentioning the Name of Allāh.
