Hadith 911

Hadith.4124 - Al-Nadr bin Suwayd narrated from Al-Qasim bin Sulaiman, who said
I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a dog that escaped and was not released by its owner, yet it hunted and its owner found it after it had killed the prey. Should he eat from it?
Imam (as) said: 'No. If it hunted while the owner had pronounced the name of Allah (swt), then he may eat from it.
But if it hunted without the name of Allah (swt) being mentioned, then he should not eat from it. And this is from what Allah (swt) has said:
"Of what you have trained among hunting animals, teaching them as Allah (swt) has taught you" (Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:4)
4124 - وَ رَوَى اَلنَّضْرُ بْنُ سُوَيْدٍ عَنِ اَلْقَاسِمِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ كَلْبٍ أَفْلَتَ وَ لَمْ يُرْسِلْهُ صَاحِبُهُ فَصَادَ فَأَدْرَكَهُ صَاحِبُهُ وَ قَدْ قَتَلَهُ أَ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ "لاَ إِذَا صَادَ وَ قَدْ سَمَّى فَلْيَأْكُلْ وَ إِذَا صَادَ وَ لَمْ يُسَمِّ فَلاَ يَأْكُلْ وَ هُوَ مِمَّا عَلَّمْتُمْ مِنَ اَلْجَوٰارِحِ مُكَلِّبِينَ ".
