It was narrated that 'Adiyy bin Abi Hatim said: "I asked the Messenger of Allah about hunting with a Mi'rad. He said: 'If you strike (the game) with its sharp point, then eat, but if you strike it with its broad side, then the animal has been killed with a blow'. I asked him about dogs and he said: 'If you release your dog and he catches (the game) but does not eat it, then eat, because his catching it is its slaughter. If you find another dog with your dog and you fear that it caught (the game) with him and killed it, then do not eat, for you said the name of Allah over your dog, but you did not say His name over the other one'."
The main values taught in this hadith are respect for animals and following Islamic laws when dealing with them. It teaches us to take responsibility for our actions as well as being mindful of what we consume in terms of food or other resources from nature. Additionally, this hadith encourages us to think before we act so that we don't cause any harm or damage unnecessarily. Lastly, this hadith reminds us that all creatures belong to Allah so we should treat them accordingly out of respect for Him too!
