Hadith of Abu Tha'labah al-Khushani (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Ahmad 17748 — Hadith of Abu Tha'labah al-Khushani
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا الزُّبَيْدِيُّ ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ سَيْفٍ الْكَلَاعِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ عَائِذِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيِّ ، قَالَ : أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَصَعَّدَ فِيَّ النَّظَرَ ، ثُمَّ صَوَّبَهُ ، فَقَالَ : " نُوَيْبِتَةٌ " ، قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، نُوَيْبِتَةُ خَيْرٍ أَوْ نُوَيْبِتَةُ شَرٍّ ؟ قَالَ : " بَلْ نُوَيْبِتَةُ خَيْرٍ " ، قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّا فِي أَرْضِ صَيْدٍ ، فَأُرْسِلُ كَلْبِي الْمُعَلَّمَ ، فَمِنْهُ مَا أُدْرِكُ ذَكَاتَهُ ، وَمِنْهُ مَا لَا أُدْرِكُ ذَكَاتَهُ وَأَرْمِي بِسَهْمِي ، فَمِنْهُ مَا أُدْرِكُ ذَكَاتَهُ ، وَمِنْهُ مَا لَا أُدْرِكُ ذَكَاتَهُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " كُلْ مَا رَدَّتْ عَلَيْكَ يَدُكَ وَقَوْسُكَ وَكَلْبُكَ الْمُعَلَّمُ ، ذَكِيًّا وَغَيْرَ ذَكِيٍّ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Tha’labah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I presented myself in the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), so the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) looked at me from bottom to top, then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "There is a little news." I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) Is it good news or bad news?" He said, "It is good news." Then I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), we live in a hunting area. I release my trained dog for hunting, sometimes I get the chance to slaughter the animal and sometimes not (before I reach the prey, it has already died). Similarly, when I shoot an arrow, the same happens. What should I do?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Your hand, your bow, and your trained dog—whatever thing comes to you hunted by these, whether you get the chance to slaughter it or not, you may eat it."
