Sunan Abi Dawud 2849 (Book 17, Hadith 6) #23139
Hunting with Responsibility

SUMMARY: When hunting, one should only consume the game they have killed themselves and not partake in any game killed by another.

Narrated 'Adi b. Hatim: The Prophet as saying: When you shoot your arrow and mention Allah's name, and you find it (the game) after a day, and you do not find it in water, and you find in it only the mark of you arrow, eat (it). But if another dog joins your dogs, do not eat it, for you do not know maybe the one which was not yours has killed it.
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الأَحْوَلِ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا رَمَيْتَ بِسَهْمِكَ وَذَكَرْتَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ فَوَجَدْتَهُ مِنَ الْغَدِ وَلَمْ تَجِدْهُ فِي مَاءٍ وَلاَ فِيهِ أَثَرٌ غَيْرَ سَهْمِكَ فَكُلْ وَإِذَا اخْتَلَطَ بِكِلاَبِكَ كَلْبٌ مِنْ غَيْرِهَا فَلاَ تَأْكُلْ لاَ تَدْرِي لَعَلَّهُ قَتَلَهُ الَّذِي لَيْسَ مِنْهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about hunting responsibly and ethically. It teaches us that when we hunt, we should only consume the game that we have killed ourselves with our own arrow. We should not partake in any game that has been killed by another person or animal, as it is difficult to know who was responsible for killing it. This hadith also teaches us to be mindful of our actions and to take responsibility for them; if you shoot an arrow at a target, you must take responsibility for finding it afterwards and ensuring that no other animal or person has taken it away from you before consuming it. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) also taught us to always remember Allah when doing anything; this includes hunting as well! By mentioning Allah's name when shooting your arrow, you are showing your gratitude towards Him for providing sustenance for yourself and your family.
