Sahih Muslim 1929h (Book 34, Hadith 8) #12084
Reciting Allah's Name When Hunting

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of reciting the name of Allah when letting off a dog to hunt, and not eating any game caught by another dog.

Sha'bi reported: I heard Adi b. Hatim say-and he was our neighbour, and our partner and co worker at Nahrain -that he asked Allah's Apostle (may peace he upon him) saying: I let off my dog and find another dog along with my dog and that (any one of them) catches the (game), but I do not know which one had caught it, whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Then don't eat that, for you recited the name of Allah while letting off your dog and did not recite on the other.
وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مَسْرُوقٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الشَّعْبِيُّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَدِيَّ بْنَ حَاتِمٍ، - وَكَانَ لَنَا جَارًا وَدَخِيلاً وَرَبِيطًا بِالنَّهْرَيْنِ - أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ أُرْسِلُ كَلْبِي فَأَجِدُ مَعَ كَلْبِي كَلْبًا قَدْ أَخَذَ لاَ أَدْرِي أَيُّهُمَا أَخَذَ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏ "‏ فَلاَ تَأْكُلْ فَإِنَّمَا سَمَّيْتَ عَلَى كَلْبِكَ وَلَمْ تُسَمِّ عَلَى غَيْرِهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that it is important to recite the name of Allah when letting off a dog to hunt for game. It is narrated by Sha'bi who reported Adi b. Hatim, who was their neighbour and partner in Nahrain. He asked the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ if he let off his own dog and found another one with it that caught some game, but he did not know which one had caught it, what should he do? The Prophet ﷺ replied that he should not eat from it as he only recited the name of Allah while letting off his own dog but did not recite on the other one. This teaches us that we must always remember to recite the name of Allah before doing anything so that we can be sure our actions are blessed by Him and will be rewarded accordingly.
