Sunan an-Nasai 4272 (Book 42, Hadith 10) #18805
Hunting Etiquette with Dogs

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the etiquette of hunting with a dog and how to determine if the hunted animal is permissible to eat.

It was narrated that 'Adiyy bin Hatim said: "I asked the Messenger of Allah: 'I release my dog. He said: 'If you release your dog and mention the name of Allah, then eat. But it he has eaten some of it, the do not eats, for the caught it for himself. If you release your dog then you find another dog with it, then do not eat, for you said the name of Allah over your dog, and not over any other"".
أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الْغَيْلاَنِيُّ الْبَصْرِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي السَّفَرِ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قُلْتُ أُرْسِلُ كَلْبِي ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا أَرْسَلْتَ كَلْبَكَ فَسَمَّيْتَ فَكُلْ وَإِنْ أَكَلَ مِنْهُ فَلاَ تَأْكُلْ فَإِنَّمَا أَمْسَكَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَإِذَا أَرْسَلْتَ كَلْبَكَ فَوَجَدْتَ مَعَهُ غَيْرَهُ فَلاَ تَأْكُلْ فَإِنَّكَ إِنَّمَا سَمَّيْتَ عَلَى كَلْبِكَ وَلَمْ تُسَمِّ عَلَى غَيْرِهِ

Mentioning Allah’s Name before releasing a pet for hunting

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses the etiquette of hunting with a dog. It was narrated by 'Adiyy bin Hatim that he asked the Messenger of Allah about releasing his dog for hunting. The Prophet said that if one releases their dog and mentions the name of Allah then they can eat what it catches. However, if another dog joins in on the hunt then one should not eat what it catches as they only mentioned Allah's name over their own dog and not over any other. This teaches us that we should be mindful when hunting with dogs and be aware of who else may be involved in catching an animal so as to ensure its permissibility for consumption according to Islamic law.
