(بَيَانُ لَحْمِ حَيَوَانٍ مَاتَ بِجُرْحِ سَهْمٍ)
(Statement on the meat of an animal that died from an arrow wound)
Hadith 4084
وَعَنْهُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرْمِي الصَّيْدَ فَأَجِدُ فِيهِ مِنَ الْغَدِ سَهْمِي قَالَ: «إِذَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ سَهْمَكَ قَتَلَهُ وَلَمْ تَرَ فِيهِ أَثَرَ سَبُعٍ فَكُلْ» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ
He told that he said, “Messenger of God, I shoot at game and find my arrow in it the next day.” He replied, “When you know your arrow killed it and see no mark of a beast of prey on the animal you may eat it.” Abu Dawud transmitted it.
