حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ فَارِسٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَاصِمٌ الأَحْوَلُ ، عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " إِذَا وَقَعَتْ رَمِيَّتُكَ فِي مَاءٍ فَغَرِقَ فَمَاتَ فَلَا تَأْكُلْ " .

English translation:
A hunted animal or bird does not become unlawful (haram) merely by falling into water while wounded; rather, it becomes unlawful only if its death occurs as a result of falling into the water. If it falls into the water in such a manner that it is found alive, then it is permissible to slaughter (dhabh) it and eat it. The meaning is that it should not have died by drowning in the water.
