Sahih al-Bukhari 5477 (Book 72, Hadith 3) #5253
Rules of Hunting and Eating Game

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught Adi bin Hatim about the rules of hunting and eating game.

Narrated Adi bin Hatim: I said, "O Allah's Messenger ! We let loose our trained hounds after a game?" He said, "Eat what they hunt for you". I said, "Even if they killed (the game)?" He replied, 'Even if they killed (the game)". I said, 'We also hit (the game) with the Mi'rad?" He said, "Eat of the animal which the Mi'rad kills by piercing its body, but do not eat of the animal which is killed by the broad side of the Mi'rad'.'
حَدَّثَنَا قَبِيصَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا نُرْسِلُ الْكِلاَبَ الْمُعَلَّمَةَ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ كُلْ مَا أَمْسَكْنَ عَلَيْكَ ‏"‏‏.‏ قُلْتُ وَإِنْ قَتَلْنَ قَالَ ‏"‏ وَإِنْ قَتَلْنَ ‏"‏‏.‏ قُلْتُ وَإِنَّا نَرْمِي بِالْمِعْرَاضِ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ كُلْ مَا خَزَقَ، وَمَا أَصَابَ بِعَرْضِهِ فَلاَ تَأْكُلْ

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught Adi bin Hatim about the rules of hunting and eating game. He said that if one uses hounds to hunt for game, they should eat whatever is caught by the hounds. If a Mi'rad is used to hunt for game, then one can only eat what has been killed by piercing its body with the Mi'rad. One cannot eat what has been killed by the broad side of it. This hadith teaches us that we should be mindful when hunting animals in order to ensure that we are not taking more than necessary from nature or causing unnecessary harm or suffering to animals in our pursuit of food. It also teaches us respect for nature and its creatures as well as moderation in our consumption habits so that we do not take more than what is needed from nature's resources.
