   أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الصَّيْدِ فَقَالَ «إِذَا أَرْسَلْتَ كَلْبَكَ الْمُعَلَّمَ فَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ اللهِ فَإِنْ أَدْرَكْتَهُ لَمْ يَقْتُلْ فَاذْبَحْ وَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ اللهِ فَإِنْ أَدْرَكْتَهُ قَدْ قَتَلَ وَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ فَكُلْ فَقَدْ أَمْسَكَهُ عَلَيْكَ فَإِنْ وَجَدْتَهُ قَدْ أَكَلَ مِنْهُ فَلَا تَطْعَمْ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا فَإِنَّمَا أَمْسَكَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَإِنْ خَالَطَ كَلْبُكَ كِلَابًا فَقَتَلْنَ فَلَمْ يَأْكُلْنَ فَلَا تَأْكُلْ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَدْرِي أَيَّهَا قَتَلَ»

   ✧ He asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about hunting. He said: "When you send your trained dog, mention the name of Allah. If you catch up with it before it kills, then slaughter and mention the name of Allah. If you catch up with it after it has killed but has not eaten, then eat, for it has held it for you. If you find that it has eaten from it, then do not eat any of it, for it has held it for itself. If your dog mixes with other dogs and they kill but do not eat, then do not eat any of it, for you do not know which one killed it."

   سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ صَيْدِ الْمِعْرَاضِ فَقَالَ «مَا أَصَبْتَ بِحَدِّهِ فَكُلْ وَمَا أَصَبْتَ بِعَرْضِهِ فَهُوَ وَقِيذٌ» وَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْكَلْبِ فَقَالَ «إِذَا أَرْسَلْتَ كَلْبَكَ فَأَخَذَ وَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ فَكُلْ فَإِنَّ أَخْذَهُ ذَكَاتُهُ فَإِنْ كَانَ مَعَ كَلْبِكَ كَلْبٌ آخَرُ فَخَشِيتَ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَخَذَ مَعَهُ فَقَتَلَ فَلَا تَأْكُلْ فَإِنَّكَ إِنَّمَا سَمَّيْتَ عَلَى كَلْبِكَ وَلَمْ تُسَمِّ عَلَى غَيْرِهِ»

   ✧ I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about hunting with the mi'rad (a blunt arrow). He said: "If you strike it with its sharp edge, then eat, and if you strike it with its broad side, then it is a waqidh (killed by a blunt blow)." I asked him about the dog. He said: "If you send your dog and it seizes the game and does not eat, then eat, for its seizure is its slaughter. If there is another dog with your dog and you fear that it seized it along with your dog and killed it, then do not eat, for you have mentioned the name of Allah only over your dog and not over the other."

He said: "What you hit with your bow, mention the name of Allah and eat. What you catch with your trained dog, mention the name of Allah and eat. What you catch with your untrained dog and you reach it while it is still alive, then slaughter it and eat."

   ✧ I said: "O Messenger of Allah, I send my trained dogs and they hold (game) for me, so may I eat?" He said: "If you send your trained dogs and they hold (game) for you, then eat." I said: "Even if they kill?" He said: "Even if they kill, as long as no other dog besides them shares in it." I said: "I shoot with the mi'rad and it pierces."

Then Abu 'Ubaidah told him not to do that." (One of the narrators) Sufyan said: "Abu Az-Zubair said, narrating from Jabir: "We asked the Prophet and he said: 'Do you have anything left of it?"' he said; "We took out, such-and -such an amount of a fat from its (the whale's) eyes, and four men could fit into its eye socket. Abu 'Ubaidah had a sack of dates and he used to give them out by the handful, then he started to give one date at a time, and when we ran out of dates it became very difficult for us." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4352)

    بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَعَ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ فَنَفِدَ زَادُنَا فَمَرَرْنَا بِحُوتٍ قَدْ قَذَفَ بِهِ الْبَحْرُ فَأَرَدْنَا أَنْ نَأْكُلَ مِنْهُ فَنَهَانَا أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ ثُمَّ قَالَ نَحْنُ رُسُلُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَفِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ كُلُوا فَأَكَلْنَا مِنْهُ أَيَّامًا فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَخْبَرْنَاهُ فَقَالَ «إِنْ كَانَ بَقِيَ مَعَكُمْ شَيْءٌ فَابْعَثُوا بِهِ إِلَيْنَا»

    ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent us with Abu 'Ubaydah on a military expedition. Our provisions ran out, and we passed by a fish that the sea had thrown out. We wanted to eat from it, but Abu 'Ubaydah forbade us. Then he said, "We are the messengers of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and in the path of Allah, so eat." So we ate from it for several days. When we came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and told him, he said, "If any of it remains with you, send some to us."

    بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَعَ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ وَنَحْنُ ثَلَاثُمِائَةٍ وَبِضْعَةَ عَشَرَ وَزَوَّدَنَا جِرَابًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ فَأَعْطَانَا قَبْضَةً قَبْضَةً فَلَمَّا أَنْ جُزْنَاهُ أَعْطَانَا تَمْرَةً تَمْرَةً حَتَّى إِنْ كُنَّا لَنَمُصُّهَا كَمَا يَمُصُّ الصَّبِيُّ وَنَشْرَبُ عَلَيْهَا مِنَ الْمَاءِ فَلَمَّا فَقَدْنَاهَا وَجَدْنَا فَقْدَهَا حَتَّى إِنْ كُنَّا لَنَخْبِطُ الْخَبَطَ بِعِصِيِّنَا فَنَشُقُّهُ ثُمَّ نَشْرَبُ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْمَاءِ حَتَّى سُمِّينَا جَيْشَ الْخَبَطِ ثُمَّ أَخَذْنَا السَّاحِلَ فَإِذَا دَابَّةٌ مِثْلُ الْكَثِيبِ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْعَنْبَرُ فَقَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ مَيْتَةٌ لَا تَأْكُلُوهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ جَيْشُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَفِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَنَحْنُ مُضْطَرُّونَ كُلُوا بِاسْمِ اللهِ فَأَكَلْنَا مِنْهُ وَجَعَلْنَا مِنْهُ وَشِيقَةً قَالَ وَلَقَدْ جَلَسَ فِي مَوْضِعِ عَيْنِهِ ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا قَالَ وَأَخَذَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ ضِلْعًا مِنْ أَضْلَاعِهِ فَرَحَلَ بِهِ أَجْسَمُ بَعِيرٍ مِنْ أَبَاعِرِ الْقَوْمِ فَأَجَازَ تَحْتَهُ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا حَبَسَكُمْ؟» قُلْنَا كُنَّا تَتَبَّعْنَا عِيرَاتِ قُرَيْشٍ وَذَكَرْنَا لَهُ أَمْرَ الدَّابَّةِ فَقَالَ «ذَاكَ رِزْقٌ رَزَقَكُمُوهُ اللهُ أَمَعَكُمْ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ؟» قَالَ قُلْنَا نَعَمْ

    ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent us with Abu 'Ubaydah, and we were three hundred and some odd, and he provided us with a sack of dates, giving us a handful at a time. When we had traveled some distance, he gave us one date at a time, until we would suck on it as a baby sucks, and drink water with it. When we lost it, we felt its loss, until we would beat the leaves off trees with our sticks and then drink water over them, so we were called the Army of Leaves. Then we took the coastal route, and there was a creature like a huge sand dune called anbar (sperm whale). Abu 'Ubaydah said, "It is dead meat, do not eat it." Then he said, "We are the army of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and in the path of Allah, and we are in dire need. Eat in the name of Allah." So we ate from it and made strips of dried meat from it. He said, "Thirteen men sat in the socket of its eye." He said, "Abu 'Ubaydah took one of its ribs and set it up, and the largest camel of the people passed under it." When we came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he said, "What delayed you?" We said, "We were pursuing the caravans of Quraysh," and we told him about the creature. He said, "That was provision Allah provided for you. Do you have any of it with you?" We said, "Yes."

    نَزَلَ نَبِيٌّ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ فَلَدَغَتْهُ نَمْلَةٌ فَأَمَرَ بِبَيْتِهِنَّ فَحُرِّقَ عَلَى مَا فِيهَا فَأَوْحَى اللهُ إِلَيْهِ فَهَلَّا نَمْلَةً وَاحِدَةً؟ [494] وَقَالَ أَشْعَثُ عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِمِثْلِهِ وَزَادَ «فَإِنَّهُنَّ يُسَبِّحْنَ» 4853 أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ نَحْوَهُ وَلَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ

    ✧ A prophet among the prophets stopped under a tree, and an ant stung him. He ordered their nest burned with all that was in it. Then Allah revealed to him: Why not just one ant?
