2 - Chapter: The Prohibition of Eating [Meat] Over Which the Name of Allah Has Not Been Mentioned

4264 - Suwayd ibn Nasr informed us, saying: 'Abdullah narrated to us, from Zakariyya, from al-Sha'bi, from 'Adi ibn Hatim, who said: I asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, about hunting with the mi'rad (a pointed stick without feathers). He said: "What you strike with its sharp edge, eat; and what you strike with its broad side, it is waqidh (an animal killed by a blow, not slaughtered properly)." And I asked him about the dog. He said: "If you send your dog and it catches [the prey] and does not eat, then eat, for its catching is its slaughtering. And if there is another dog with your dog, and you fear that it caught [the prey] along with it, and it killed it, then do not eat, for you only mentioned the name of Allah over your dog, and you did not mention [it] over the other."
