Chapter 1 : HUNTING WITH THE HELP OF TRAINED DOGS
Book ,
Number 4732:
'Adi b. Hatim reported: I
said: Messenger of Allah, I set off trained dogs and they catch for me
(the game) and I recite the came of Allah over it (I slaughter the
game by reciting Bismillah-i-Allah-o-Akbar), whereupon he said: When
you set off your trained dogs and you recited the name of Allah (while
setting them off), then eat (the game). I said: Even if them (the
trained dogs) kill that (the game)? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Even
if these kill, but (on the condition) that no other dog, which you did
not set off (along with your dogs), participates (in catching the
game). I said to him: I throw Mi'rad, a heavy featherless blunt arrow,
for hunting and killing (the game). Thereupon he said: When you throw
Mi'rad, and it pierces, then eat, but if it falls flatly (and beats
the game to death), then do not eat that.

Number 4733:
'Adi b. Hatim reported: I
asked Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) saying: We are a
people who hunt with these (trained) dogs, then (what should we do)?
Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: When you set of your trained
dogs having recited the name of Allah, then eat what these (hounds)
have caught for you, oven if it (the game) is killed, provided (the
hunting dog) has not eaten (any part of the game). If it has eaten
(the game), then you don't eat it as I fear that it might have caught
for its own self. And do not eat in case other dogs have joined your
trained dogs.

Number 4734:
'Adi b. Hatim reported
that he asked the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) about
(hunting) with the help of an arrow having a stub end. He said: If it
strikes (the game) with its point, then eat, but if it strikes flatly
and it dies, that is Waqidh (beaten into death), do not eat that. I
asked the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) about (hunting
with the help of) dogs, whereupon he said. When you send your dog (for
hunting) reciting the name of Allah, then eat (the game), but if some
part of it is eaten (by the dogs, then do not eat that, for it (your
dog) has caught that (the-game) for itself. I (again) said: If I find
along with my dog another dog, and do not know which of (the dogs) has
caught (the game). then (what should I do) ? Thereupon he ('Allah's
Messenger) said: Then don't eat that, for you recited the name of
Allah on your dog and not on the other one.

is) beaten (into death), (then do not eat that) 'Adi further said: I
asked him about hunting with the help of a dog, whereupon he said: If
that (the dog) catches it (the game) for you and does not eat out of
that, then you eat (the game) for Dhakat (slaughtering) of that is its
being caught by it (by the dog). But if you find another dog besides
it, and you fear that that dog (the second one) had caught it (the
game) along with that (your dog) and killed it. then don't eat; for
you recited the name of Allah on your dog and did not recite that on
the other one (which joined your dog incidentally).

People of the Book and so you eat in their utensils, but if you can
get utensils other than theirs, then don't eat in them; but if you do
not find any, then wash them and eat in them. And regarding what you

Book ,
Number 4756:
Jabir reported: Allah's
Messenger (may peace he upon him) sent us (on an expedition) and
appointed Abu 'Ubaida our chief that we might intercept a caravan of
the Quraish and provided us with a bag of dates. And he found for us
nothing besides it. Abu Ubaida gave each of us one date (everyday). I
(Abu Zubair, one of the narrators) said: What did you do with that? He
said: We sucked that just as a baby sucks and then drank water over
that, and it sufficed us for the day until night. We beat off leaves
with the help of our staffs, then drenched them with water and ate
them. We then went to the coast of the sea, and there rose before us
on the coast of the sea something like a big mound. We came near that
and we found that it was a beast, called al-'Anbar (spermaceti whale).
Abu 'Ubaida said. It is dead. He then said: No (but it does not
matter), we have been sent by the Messenger of Allah (may peace be
upon him) in the path of Allah and you are hard pressed (on account of
the scarcity of food), so you eat that. We three hundred in number
stayed there for a month, until we grew bulky. He (Jabir) said: I saw
how we extracted pitcher after pitcher full of fat from the cavity of
its eye, and sliced from it compact piece of meat equal to a bull or
like a bull. Abu 'Ubaida called forth thirteen men from us and he made
them sit in the cavity of its eye, and he took hold of one of the ribs
of its chest and made it stand and then saddled the biggest of the
camels we had with us and it passed under it (the arched rib), and we
provided ourselves with pieces of boiled meat (especially for use in
our journey). When we came back to Medina, we went to Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) and made a mention of that to him,
whereupon he said: That was a provision which Allah had brought forth
for you. Is there any piece of meat (left) with you, so tnat you give
to us that ? He (Jabir) said: We sent to Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) tome of that (a piece of meat) and he ate it.

'Ubaida b. al-Jarrah. We were on the look out for a caravan of the
Quraish. So we stayed on the coast for half a month, and were so much
afflicted by extreme hunger that we (were obliged) to eat leaves. That
is why it was called the Detachment of the Leaves. The ocean cast out
for us an animal which was called al-'Anbar (whale). We ate of that
for half of the month and rubbed its fat on our (bodies) until our
bodies became stout. Abu 'Ubaida caught hold of one of its ribs and
fixed that up. He then cast a glance at the tallest man of the army
and the highest of the camels. and then made him ride over that, and
that-tnan passed beneath it (the rib), and many a man could sit in its
eye-socket, and we extracted many pitchers of fat from the cavity of
its eye. We had small bags containing dates with us (before finding
the whale). 'Ubaida gave every person amongst us a handful of dates
(and when the provision ran short), he then gave each one of us one
date. And when that (stock) was exhausted, we felt its loss.

observed: I neither eat it nor forbid (anyone) from eating it, nor
declare it to be unlawful. Thereupon Ibn 'Abbas said: Sad it is what
you say ! Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) has not been sent,
but (to declare in clear words) the lawful and the unlawful (things).
We were once with Allah's Messenger (may peace be.upon him) as he was
with Maimuna, and there were with him al-Fadl b. 'Abbas, Khalid b.
Walid and some women (also) when a tray of food containing flesh was
presented to him. As Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) was about
to eat that, Maimuna said: It is the flesh of the lizard. He withdrew
his hand saying: That is the flesh which I never eat; but he said to
them (those who were present there): You may eat. Al-Fadl ate out of
that, so did Khalid b Walid, and the women. Maimuna (however) said: I
do not eat anything but that which Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) eats.

(persons). It is a common diet of the shepherds. Had it been with me,
I would have eaten that.

Abu Sa'id reported that a
person said: Messenger of Allah, we live in a land abounding in
lizards, so what do you command or what verdict you give (about eating
of it) ? Thereupon he said: It was mentioned to me that a people from
among Bani Isra'il were distorted (so there is a likelihood that those
people might have been distorted in the shape of lizards). So he
neither commanded (us to eat that) nor forbade (us). Abu Sa'id said:
After some time Umar said: Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, has made
it (a source of) benefit for more than one (person), for it is the
common diet of shepherds. Had it been with me, I would have eaten
that. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) disliked it.

make any reply. We said to him: Repeat it (your problem) and so he
repeated it, but he did not make any reply. (It was repeated thrice )
Then Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) called him out at the
third time saying: O man of the desert, verily Allah cursed or showed
wrath to a tribe of Bani Isra'il and distorted them to beasts which
move on the earth. I do not know, perhaps this (lizard) may be one of
them. So I do not eat it, nor do I prohibit the eating of it.
