أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْقَاضِي، وَأَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو قَالُوا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ، ثنا عَارِمٌ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ الْبُنَانِيُّ، أَنَّ نَافِعَ بْنَ الْأَزْرَقِ، سَأَلَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا فَقَالَ: يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ أَرَأَيْتَ إِذَا أَرْسَلْتُ كَلْبِي فَسَمَّيْتُ فَقَتَلَتِ الصَّيْدَ آكُلُهُ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ نَافِعٌ: يَقُولُ اللهُ: {إِلَّا مَا ذَكَّيْتُمْ} [المائدة: ٣] تَقُولُ أَنْتَ: وَإِنْ قَتَلَ. قَالَ: وَيْحَكَ يَا ابْنَ الْأَزْرَقِ، أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ أَمْسَكَ عَلَى سِنَّورٍ فَأَدْرَكْتُ ذَكَاتَهُ كَانَ يَكُونُ ⦗٣٩٥⦘ عَلَيَّ بَأْسٌ؟ وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ فِي أِيِّ كِلَابٍ نَزَلَتْ، نَزَلَتْ فِي كِلَابِ بَنِي نَبْهَانَ مِنْ طَيِّئٍ، وَيْحَكَ يَا ابْنَ الْأَزْرَقِ وَلَيَكُونَنَّ لَكَ نَبَأٌ.
Nafi' bin al-Azraq asked Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both): What is your view: when I send my trained dog after game and it then kills the game, may I eat that game? Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Eat it. Nafi' said: Allah says: "Except what you have slaughtered" [Surah al-Ma'idah: 3], that is, eat only when you have slaughtered it; yet you say that even if the game is killed, eat it. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: O Ibn al-Azraq, what is your view: if I catch it and slaughter it, there is no harm. By Allah, I know concerning which dogs this verse was revealed. It was revealed concerning the dogs of Banu Nabhan, who are of the tribe of Tayyi'. O Ibn al-Azraq, woe to you! There will surely be news for you.
