حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ عَنْ أَبِي ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيِّ قَالَ
أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، اكْتُبْ لِي بِأَرْضِ كَذَا وَكَذَا - لِأَرْضٍ بِالشَّامِ، لَمْ يَظْهَرْ عَلَيْهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حِينَئِذٍ - فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: « أَلَا تَسْمَعُونَ إِلَى مَا يَقُولُ هَذَا؟ » فَقَالَ أَبُو ثَعْلَبَةَ: وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَتَظْهَرَنَّ عَلَيْهَا، قَالَ: فَكَتَبَ لَهُ بِهَا، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ أَرْضَنَا أَرْضُ صَيْدٍ، فَأُرْسِلُ كَلْبِيَ الْمُكَلَّبَ، وَكَلْبِيَ الَّذِي لَيْسَ بِمُكَلَّبٍ؟ قَالَ: « إِذَا أَرْسَلْتَ كَلْبَكَ الْمُكَلَّبَ وَسَمَّيْتَ، فَكُلْ مَا أَمْسَكَ عَلَيْكَ كَلْبُكَ الْمُكَلَّبُ، وَإِنْ قَتَلَ، وَإِنْ أَرْسَلْتَ كَلْبَكَ الَّذِي لَيْسَ بِمُكَلَّبٍ فَأَدْرَكْتَ ذَكَاتَهُ، فَكُلْ، وَكُلْ مَا رَدَّ عَلَيْكَ سَهْمُكَ، وَإِنْ قَتَلَ، وَسَمِّ اللهَ ». قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ إِنَّ أَرْضَنَا أَرْضُ أَهْلِ كِتَابٍ، وَإِنَّهُمْ يَأْكُلُونَ لَحْمَ الْخِنْزِيرِ، وَيَشْرَبُونَ الْخَمْرَ، فَكَيْفَ نَصْنَعُ بِآنِيَتِهِمْ وَقُدُورِهِمْ؟ قَالَ: « إِنْ لَمْ تَجِدُوا غَيْرَهَا، فَارْحَضُوهَا وَاطْبُخُوا فِيهَا، وَاشْرَبُوا » قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا يَحِلُّ لَنَا مِمَّا يَحْرُمُ عَلَيْنَا؟ قَالَ: « لَا تَأْكُلُوا لُحُومَ الْحُمُرِ الْإِنْسِيَّةِ، وَلَا كُلَّ ذِي نَابٍ مِنَ السِّبَاعِ ».

✧ I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of God, write for me [a grant of] such-and-such land'—land in Syria which the Prophet ﷺ had not yet conquered at that time. The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Will you not listen to what this man says?' Abū Thaʿlabah said: 'By the One in whose hand is my soul, you will certainly conquer it.' So he wrote it for him. I said to him: 'O Messenger of God, our land is a land of game. I send out my trained dog and my untrained dog?' He said: 'When you send out your trained dog and mention God's name, eat what your trained dog holds for you, even if it kills. If you send out your untrained dog and catch it alive, then eat, and eat what your arrow returns to you, even if it kills, and mention God's name.' I said: 'O Prophet of God, our land is a land of the People of the Book. They eat pork and drink wine. What should we do with their vessels and cooking pots?' He said: 'If you find nothing else, wash them and cook in them and drink.' I said: 'O Messenger of God, what is lawful for us from what is forbidden to us?' He said: 'Do not eat the meat of domestic donkeys, nor any fanged beast of prey.'
