1464. Abū Tha'labah Al-Khushani said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! We are a people who hunt.' He said: 'If you send your dog and you mentioned the Name of Allāh upon it, and he catches something for you, then eat it.' I said: 'Even if he kills it?' He said: 'Even if he kills it.' I said: 'We are a people who shoot (at game).' He said: 'What you catch with your bow, then eat it.'" He said: "Then I said: 'Indeed we are a people who travel. We come across Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians, and we do not find vessels other than theirs.' He said: 'If you do not find other than them, then wash them with water, then eat and drink from them.'" (Sahih)
[He said:] There is something on this topic from 'Adī bin Ḥatīm.
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan [Sahih]. 'Ā'idhullāh [bin 'Abdullāh] is Abū Idrīs Al-Khawlānī. [Abū Tha'labah Al-
Khushanī's name is Jurthūm – and they say it is Jurthum – bin Nāshib. And they say it is Ibn Qais].

Commentary
A hunter who lets his trained hunting dog loose after a game, mentioned the Name of Allāh, and the dog brought the catch to his master, it can be eaten even when they kill the game. Most of the scholars hold that if the dog eats part of the catch then it is prohibited to eat it.
