4280. It was narrated from 'Adiyy bin Ḥâtīm Aṭ-Ṭâ'î that he asked the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ about hunting. He said: "If you release your dog and mention the name of Allâh over him, and he kills (the game) but does not eat any of it, then eat. But if he has eaten from it, then do not eat, for he caught it for himself, and not for you." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
4275 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي شُعَيْبٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ أَعْيَنَ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ الطَّائِيِّ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الصَّيْدِ، قَالَ: «إِذَا أَرْسَلْتَ كَلْبَكَ فَذَكَرْتَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَقَتَلَ، وَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ فَكُلْ، وَإِنْ أَكَلَ مِنْهُ فَلَا تَأْكُلْ، فَإِنَّمَا أَمْسَكَهُ عَلَيْهِ، وَلَمْ يُمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ»

'Not for you': The purpose is to state that such dog is not trained. Hence, its hunt is not permitted. Repetition of the Tradition to such an extent is to bring out all the minute details concerning the matter to the fore. Moreover, the purpose is also to demonstrate that this tradition is not Gharib or strange. (In Hadīth terminology, Gharib refers to Hadīth which comes through only one source).
