Hadith 916
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، قَالَ : ثنا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ ، قَالَ : ثنا حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ ، قَالَ : ثنا رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ ، قَالَ : ثنا أَبُو إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلانِيُّ ، قَالَ : ثنا أَبُو ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا بِأَرْضِ أَهْلِ كِتَابٍ فَنَأْكُلُ فِي آنِيَتِهِمْ ، وَإِنَّا بِأَرْضِ صَيْدٍ فَأَرْمِي بِقَوْسِي ، وَأَصِيدُ بِكَلْبِي الْمُعَلَّمِ وَبِكَلْبِي الَّذِي غَيْرِ مُعَلَّمٍ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنْ كُنْتُمْ بِأَرْضِ أَهْلِ كِتَابٍ كَمَا ذَكَرْتَ ، فَلا تَأْكُلُوا فِي آنِيَتِهِمْ إِلا أَنْ لا تَجِدُوا مِنْهَا بُدًّا ، فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدُوا مِنْهَا بُدًّا فَاغْسِلُوهَا ثُمَّ كُلُوا فِيهَا ، وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ بِأَرْضِ صَيْدٍ كَمَا ذَكَرْتَ فَمَا صِدْتَ بِقَوْسِكَ فَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ اللَّهِ وَكُلْ ، وَمَا صِدْتَ بِكَلْبِكَ الْمُعَلَّمِ فَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ اللَّهِ وَكُلْ ، وَمَا صِدْتَ بِكَلْبِكَ الَّذِي غَيْرِ مُعَلَّمٍ فَأَدْرَكْتَ ذَكَاتَهُ فَكُلْ " .
Sayyiduna Abu Tha’labah al-Khushani (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I presented myself before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! We live in the land of the People of the Book, so we eat and drink from their utensils, and our area is a hunting region, so I shoot arrows with a bow and hunt with my trained and untrained dogs. (So what is permissible in this regard?) The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: If you live in the land of the People of the Book, as you have mentioned, then do not eat from their utensils unless there is no other option. If there is no other option, then wash them and eat from them. And if you live in a hunting region, as you have mentioned, then whatever game you hunt with your arrow, mention the name of Allah and eat it. And whatever game you hunt with your trained dog, mention the name of Allah and eat it. And whatever game you hunt with your untrained dog, and you get the chance to slaughter it, then eat it as well.
