3 - Chapter: On Hunting with a Trained Dog

4265 - Isma'il ibn Mas'ud informed us, saying: Abu Abd al-Samad 'Abd al-Aziz ibn Abd al-Samad narrated to us, saying: Mansur narrated to us, from Ibrahim, from Hammam ibn al-Harith, from 'Adi ibn Hatim, that he asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, saying: "I send out my trained dog, and it catches [game]?" He said: "If you send out your trained dog, and you mention the name of Allah over it, and it catches [the game], then eat." I said: "Even if it kills it?" He said: "Even if it kills it." I said: "I shoot with the mi'rad?" He said: "If it strikes with its sharp edge, then eat; if it strikes with its blunt side, then do not eat."

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

The portion on hunting with the mi'rad will also appear under number (4306) via the chain of 'Abdullah ibn Abi al-Safar, and under number (4307) via the chain of Husayn, both from al-Sha'bi, from him.

It will also appear under numbers (4265), (4267), and (4305) via the chain of Hammam ibn al-Harith, from 'Adi ibn Hatim, from him.

Al-Sindi said: His statement "regarding hunting with the mi'rad" — with a kasra on the mim and a sukun on the 'ayn, ending with a mu'jama dhad — is a heavy piece of wood, or a stick with an iron tip at its end, or an arrow without fletching. "With its sharp edge" means it penetrated the flesh and cut through part of the skin. "With its blunt side" — with a fatha on the 'ayn — meaning with the non-sharpened part of it.

(1) The word "I said" is not in (M).

(2) Its chain is authentic. Mansur is Ibn al-Mu'tamir, and Ibrahim is Ibn Yazid al-Nakha'i. It is in "Al-Sunan al-Kubra" under number (4758).

Ahmad also recorded it (19372) from 'Abd al-Aziz ibn Abd al-Samad with this chain.

Ahmad also recorded it (18249), (18266), and (19394), al-Bukhari (5477) and (7397), al-Tirmidhi (1465), and Ibn Majah (3215) via multiple chains from Mansur, from him. The first narration of Ahmad and the narration of Ibn Majah are limited to the section on hunting with the mi'rad.

Ahmad also recorded it (19393) via the chain of al-A'mash, from Ibrahim, from him.

It will also appear under numbers (4267) and (4305).
