Bayhaqi 18878 — If a trained dog kills the game, it may be eaten

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَصَمُّ، أَنْبَأَ الرَّبِيعُ، قَالَ: قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ: وَيَحْتَمِلُ الْقِيَاسُ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ وَإِنْ أَكَلَ مِنْهُ الْكَلْبُ، وَهَذَا قَوْلُ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَسَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ وَبَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا، وَإِنَّمَا تَرَكْنَا هَذَا لِلْأَثَرِ الَّذِي ذَكَرَ الشَّعْبِيُّ عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " فَإِنْ أَكَلَ فَلَا تَأْكُلْ ". وَإِذَا ثَبَتَ الْخَبَرُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَجُزْ تَرْكُهُ لِشَيْءٍ.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Analogy could allow that the game be eaten even if the dog has eaten from it, and this is the view of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar and Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with them) and some of our companions. We left it only because of the report that al-Sha'bi mentioned, that Sayyiduna Adi bin Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him) heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "If the dog eats from the game, do not eat the game." When this hadith is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), it is not right to abandon it.
