The lawfulness of eating game caught with the bow, the dog and other means

It is narrated from Amr bin Shu'ayb (may Allah have mercy on him) that a man of the Ansar, whom I think was Abd al-Rahman, said: I took my bow and hunted some birds with it; some of them I slaughtered (that is, I found them alive and slaughtered them in the lawful way), while for some I could not perform the slaughter (that is, they had died from the arrow or I could not slaughter them). Then I met Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud, Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit and Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin al-Yaman (may Allah be pleased with them), and I began to separate the lawfully slaughtered birds. They asked: "What is this?" I said: "These are the ones I slaughtered, and these are the ones I could not slaughter." So they mixed them all together and said: "We heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Eat whatever your bow brings back to you (by hunting).'"

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a man uses his hunting means (such as a hunting animal or an arrow), then mentions the name of Allah Almighty (that is, says Bismillah, when he finds the game or before eating), let him eat that (obtained) game, provided that (his hunting animal) has not itself eaten any of it."

It is narrated from Imam al-Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him) concerning the game of the hawk and the falcon that he said: "If they have eaten (from the game, that is, the hawk or the falcon), then you (too) may eat (that game)."

It is narrated from Ibrahim (al-Nakha'i) concerning the hawk and the falcon that he said: "If they eat (from the game), then you too may eat, for they are only being taught their eating (that is, this is part of their training, or they are accustomed to it)."

It is narrated from Khaythamah (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said: "The 'uqab (eagle), the saqr (falcon) and the bazi (hawk) are among the hunting birds."

It is narrated from Ibrahim bin Uyaynah (may Allah have mercy on him) that he asked Imam Ata' (may Allah have mercy on him) about the mi'rad (an arrow that is not pointed but strikes with its broad part): when it strikes (the game) with its broad part (and kills it)? He said: "When you strike it (the game) with its broad part and it kills it, then eat it."
