1468. 'Adī bin Ḥatim narrated: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! I shoot some game and then find my arrow in it the next day.' He said: 'If you know that your arrow killed
it, and you don't see any marks of predators, then eat it.”” (Sahih)
[Abū ‘Īsā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahih. This is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge. Shu‘bah reported this Hadīth from Abū Bishr and ‘Abdul-Mālik bin Maisarah, from Sa‘eed bin Jubair, from ‘Adī bin Hātim [and from Abū Tha‘labah Al-Khushani, and it is similar]. And both of the Aḥādīth are Sahih.

Commentary
In case a hunter shoots an arrow and it hits the game, but the game disappears with the arrow, and the hunter is unable to find it, and if after one or two days he finds it dead and he finds his arrow in the body of the game, he recognizes his arrow and he is sure that the prey was killed by his arrow, and that no other wild animal has touched it, it is lawful to eat it. (Sharḥ Sahīh Muslim & An-Nawawī v.2. p. 142 and (Tuhfat Al-Aḥwadī v.2. p. 342.)
