Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 20883 — Hunting with the mirad (blunt shaft)

Sayyiduna Adi bin Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about hunting with the mi'rad, and he said: "If its point strikes the animal, eat it; and if its broad side strikes it, then it is carrion." (The mi'rad is an arrow without feathers; it strikes the target with its broad side, not with its point.)
