Sahih Muslim 1929k (Book 34, Hadith 11) #12087
Hunting with Respect

SUMMARY: When hunting, recite the name of Allah and only eat what you have killed, unless it has fallen into water.

'Adi b. Hatim reported: I asked Allah's Messenger about hunting. He said: When you shoot your arrow, recite the name of Allah, and if you find it (the arrow) killed (that). then eat, except when you find it fallen into water, for in that case you do not know whether it is water that caused its death or your arrow.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَاصِمٌ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَنِ الصَّيْدِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا رَمَيْتَ سَهْمَكَ فَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ اللَّهِ فَإِنْ وَجَدْتَهُ قَدْ قَتَلَ فَكُلْ إِلاَّ أَنْ تَجِدَهُ قَدْ وَقَعَ فِي مَاءٍ فَإِنَّكَ لاَ تَدْرِي الْمَاءُ قَتَلَهُ أَوْ سَهْمُكَ

QUICK LESSONS:
Recite the name of Allah before shooting your arrow when hunting

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about hunting and how to do it in a respectful manner. It teaches us that when we hunt, we should recite the name of Allah before shooting our arrow. If we find that our arrow has killed something, then we can eat it; however if the animal or bird falls into water then we should not eat it because there is no way to know if the water or our arrow caused its death. This hadith teaches us to be respectful of animals and birds by not eating them unless they are killed by us directly. We should also be mindful of how much food we take from nature so that there is enough for everyone else too.
