2853 - Al-Husayn ibn Muʿādh ibn Khulayf narrated to us, ʿAbd al-Aʿlā narrated to us, Dāwūd narrated to us, from ʿĀmir, from ʿAdī ibn Ḥātim that he said: O Messenger of Allah, one of us shoots at game and then tracks its trail for two or three days, then finds it dead with his arrow in it—may he eat it? He said: "Yes, if he wishes," or he said: "He may eat it if he wishes."(1)

=============================================

And a group permitted it; that is narrated from Saʿd ibn Abī Waqqāṣ and Salmān. It is also narrated from Abū Hurayrah and from Ibn ʿUmar—Aḥmad narrated it from them—and Mālik and al-Shāfiʿī held this view in the other opinion, as did Aḥmad in one of the two narrations.

Al-Tirmidhī (1901) also transmitted it via the path of Abū Asmāʾ al-Raḥabī ʿAmr ibn Murthad al-Dimashqī, from Abū Thaʿlabah al-Khushanī. Its chain is authentic.

It is in the Musnad of Aḥmad (17750).

The mention of the trained dog will come from the author via the path of Rabīʿah ibn Yazīd, from Abū Idrīs al-Khawlānī, under number (2855), and the mention of the bow and the dog will also come via the path of Yūnus ibn Sayf, from Abū Idrīs al-Khawlānī, under number (2856).

The mention of both the dog and the bow will also come from the ḥadīth of ʿAmr ibn Shuʿayb, from his father, from his grandfather, that a Bedouin called Abū Thaʿlabah al-Khushanī—and he mentioned it with its meaning—under number (2857).

(1) Its chain is authentic. ʿĀmir: he is Ibn Sharāḥīl al-Shaʿbī, and Dāwūd: he is Ibn Abī Hind, and ʿAbd al-Aʿlā: he is Ibn ʿAbd al-Aʿlā al-Sāmī.

Ibn Abī Shaybah also transmitted it in his Muṣannaf 5/372, and in his Musnad as found in Taghlīq al-Taʿlīq by Ibn Ḥajar 4/505, and from his path Ibn Ḥazm transmitted it in al-Muḥallā 7/464, and Ibn Ḥajar in al-Taghlīq 4/505, from ʿAbd al-Aʿlā ibn ʿAbd al-Aʿlā, with this chain. Al-Bukhārī suspended it in his Ṣaḥīḥ under number (5485) from ʿAbd al-Aʿlā in the definitive form.

Al-Bukhārī also transmitted it (5484) via the path of ʿĀṣim al-Aḥwal, from al-Shaʿbī, with this, within a lengthy ḥadīth.

Al-Nasāʾī transmitted it (4300) via the path of Saʿīd ibn Jubayr, from ʿAdī ibn Ḥātim, except that he said: "a night or two nights." =
