Sunan Abi Dawud 2854 (Book 17, Hadith 11) #23144
Hunting Etiquette

SUMMARY: When hunting, one should only eat the game that was killed by their own arrow and not the game killed by another hunter or animal.

Narrated 'Adi b. Hatim: I asked Prophet about featherless arrow. He said: If it strikes with its end, eat, and if it strikes with the middle part of it, do not eat, for it died by a violent blow. I said: I set off my dog? He replies: If you mention Allah's name, eat, otherwise do not eat. If it eats any of it, do not eat, for it caught for itself. He asked: I set off my dog, and I find with it another dog ? He replied: Do not eat, because you mentioned Allah's name on your dog.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي السَّفَرِ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ عَدِيُّ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ عَنِ الْمِعْرَاضِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِذَا أَصَابَ بِحَدِّهِ فَكُلْ وَإِذَا أَصَابَ بِعَرْضِهِ فَلاَ تَأْكُلْ فَإِنَّهُ وَقِيذٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ أُرْسِلُ كَلْبِي ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِذَا سَمَّيْتَ فَكُلْ وَإِلاَّ فَلاَ تَأْكُلْ وَإِنْ أَكَلَ مِنْهُ فَلاَ تَأْكُلْ فَإِنَّمَا أَمْسَكَ لِنَفْسِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ أُرْسِلُ كَلْبِي فَأَجِدُ عَلَيْهِ كَلْبًا آخَرَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ تَأْكُلْ لأَنَّكَ إِنَّمَا سَمَّيْتَ عَلَى كَلْبِكَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about proper etiquette when hunting with a bow and arrow. It teaches us to be mindful of what we consume, as it is important to only eat animals that were killed with our own arrows. If an animal was killed by another hunter or an animal, then it should not be eaten. Additionally, if one sets off their dog for hunting and finds another dog with it, they should not eat the game because they did not mention Allah’s name on the other dog. This hadith emphasizes being mindful of what we consume and being respectful of other hunters’ kills as well as mentioning Allah’s name before setting off any animals for hunting purposes.
