Hadith of Abu Tha'labah al-Khushani (may Allah be pleased with him)

حَدِيثُ أَبِي ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيِّ (١)، ١٧٧٣١ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي ثَعْلَبَةَ: أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ قُدُورِ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ، فَقَالَ: " إِنْ لَمْ تَجِدُوا غَيْرَهَا، فَاغْسِلْ وَاطْبُخْ "، " وَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ لُحُومِ الْحُمُرِ، فَنَهَاهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، وَعَنْ كُلِّ سَبُعٍ ذِي نَابٍ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Tha’labah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he asked the Prophet (ﷺ) about the pots of the People of the Book. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: If you do not find any other vessels except those, then wash them and you may cook food in them. Then he asked about the meat of donkeys, so the Prophet (ﷺ) forbade it and also forbade every predatory animal that hunts with its canine teeth.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ، عَنْ أَبِي ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ أَحَبَّكُمْ إِلَيَّ، وَأَقْرَبَكُمْ مِنِّي فِي الْآخِرَةِ مَحَاسِنُكُمْ أَخْلَاقًا، وَإِنَّ أَبْغَضَكُمْ إِلَيَّ وَأَبْعَدَكُمْ مِنِّي فِي الْآخِرَةِ مَسَاوِئُكُمْ أَخْلَاقًا، الثَّرْثَارُونَ، الْمُتَفَيْهِقُونَ الْمُتَشَدِّقُونَ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Tha’labah Khushani (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Among you, the most beloved to me and the closest to me in the Hereafter will be those with the best character. And among you, the most disliked to me and the farthest from me in the Hereafter will be those with bad character, those who speak indecently, those who talk excessively and at length, and those who speak affectedly with their mouths wide open.

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ (١) بْنُ أَرْطَاةَ، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ، عَنْ أَبِي ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيِّ، يَقُولُ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّا أَهْلُ صَيْدٍ. فَقَالَ: " إِذَا أَرْسَلْتَ كَلْبَكَ، وَذَكَرْتَ اسْمَ اللهِ، فَأَمْسَكَ عَلَيْكَ، فَكُلْ " قَالَ: قُلْتُ: وَإِنْ قَتَلَ؟ قَالَ: " وَإِنْ قَتَلَ "، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: إِنَّا أَهْلُ رَمْيٍ قَالَ: " مَا رَدَّتْ عَلَيْكَ قَوْسُكَ، فَكُلْ "، قَالَ: قُلْتُ إِنَّا أَهْلُ سَفَرٍ نَمُرُّ بِالْيَهُودِ وَالنَّصَارَى وَالْمَجُوسِ، وَلَا نَجِدُ غَيْرَ آنِيَتِهِمْ، قَالَ: " فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدُوا غَيْرَهَا، فَاغْسِلُوهَا بِالْمَاءِ، ثُمَّ كُلُوا فِيهَا وَاشْرَبُوا " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Tha’labah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I submitted in the court of the Messenger (ﷺ): O Messenger of Allah! (ﷺ) we are hunters (please tell us the rulings regarding hunting). The Prophet (ﷺ) said: When you release your dog for hunting and recite Bismillah, then whatever it hunts, you may eat it. I asked: Even if the dog has killed the prey? The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Yes, even if it has killed it. I asked: We are archers. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Whatever your bow returns to you, you may eat it. I asked: We are travelers, we pass by the Jews, Christians, and Magians, and we do not find any utensils except theirs? The Prophet (ﷺ) said: If you do not find any utensils except theirs, then wash them with water, then you may eat and drink from them.

حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيَّ، صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ يَقُولُ وَهُوَ بِالْفُسْطَاطِ فِي خِلَافَةِ مُعَاوِيَةَ، وَكَانَ مُعَاوِيَةُ أَغْزَى النَّاسَ الْقُسْطَنْطِينِيَّةَ، فَقَالَ: " وَاللهِ لَا تَعْجِزُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةُ مِنْ نِصْفِ، ، يَوْمٍ إِذَا رَأَيْتَ الشَّامَ مَائِدَةَ رَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ وَأَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ، فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ فَتْحُ الْقُسْطَنْطِينِيَّةِ " (١)،

Jubair (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I heard Abu Tha’labah (may Allah be pleased with him) saying, while he was in the city of Fustat during the caliphate of Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him), and Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) had sent people for jihad to Constantinople: "By Allah! This Ummah will not be incapable for half a day. When you see, in the evening, the dining spread of a man and his household, then the conquest of Constantinople is near."

حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ،، ، عَنْ أَبِي ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيِّ، صَاحِبِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " حَرَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لُحُومَ الْحُمُرِ الْأَهْلِيَّةِ، وَلَحْمَ كُلِّ ذِي نَابٍ مِنَ السِّبَاعِ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Tha’labah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) declared the meat of domesticated donkeys and every predatory animal with fangs to be unlawful.

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ بَحْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زَبْرٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مُسْلِمَ بْنَ مِشْكَمٍ، يَقُولُ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيُّ، قَالَ: كَانَ النَّاسُ إِذَا نَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ، مَنْزِلًا فَعَسْكَرَ (١) ، تَفَرَّقُوا عَنْهُ فِي الشِّعَابِ وَالْأَوْدِيَةِ، فَقَامَ فِيهِمْ فَقَالَ: " إِنَّ تَفَرُّقَكُمْ فِي الشِّعَابِ وَالْأَوْدِيَةِ (٢) ، إِنَّمَا ذَلِكُمْ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ " قَالَ: فَكَانُوا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ إِذَا نَزَلُوا، انْضَمَّ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ، حَتَّى إِنَّكَ لَتَقُولُ: لَوْ بَسَطْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ كِسَاءً لَعَمَّهُمْ، أَوْ نَحْوَ ذَلِكَ (٣)،

It is narrated from Abu Tha’labah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (ﷺ) camped at any place with an army, the people would scatter in different ravines and valleys. (Once this happened, so) the Prophet (ﷺ) stood up and said: Your scattering in these ravines and valleys is because of Satan. The narrator says that after this, whenever they camped at any place, the people would stay so close to each other that you could say if a single sheet were spread over them, it would cover them all.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيِّ، قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، اكْتُبْ لِي بِأَرْضِ كَذَا وَكَذَا - لِأَرْضٍ بِالشَّامِ لَمْ يَظْهَرْ عَلَيْهَا، ، النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَئِذٍ -، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَلَا تَسْمَعُونَ (١) إِلَى مَا يَقُولُ هَذَا؟ " فَقَالَ أَبُو ثَعْلَبَةَ: وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَتَظْهَرُنَّ 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 (٢) ، وَإِنْ قَتَلَ، وَإِذَا 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 أَصْنَعُ بِآنِيَتِهِمْ وَقُدُورِهِمْ؟ قَالَ: " إِنْ لَمْ تَجِدُوا غَيْرَهَا فَارْحَضُوهَا وَاطْبُخُوا فِيهَا، وَاشْرَبُوا "، قَالَ: قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا يَحِلُّ لَنَا مِمَّا يُحَرَّمُ عَلَيْنَا؟ قَالَ: " لَا تَأْكُلُوا لُحُومَ الْحُمُرِ الْإِنْسِيَّةِ، وَلَا كُلَّ ذِي نَابٍ مِنَ السِّبَاعِ " (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Tha’labah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I presented myself in the court of the Messenger (ﷺ) and said, “O Messenger of Allah! (ﷺ) Please write in my name such-and-such land in Syria, upon which the Prophet (ﷺ) has not yet prevailed.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said to the companions (may Allah be pleased with them), “Do you not hear what he is saying?” Abu Tha’labah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “By Him in Whose hand is my life, you will surely prevail over it.” So the Prophet (ﷺ) wrote a document to that effect and gave it to him. I said, “O Messenger of Allah! (ﷺ) We are hunters (please tell us the rulings regarding hunting).” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “When you send your trained dog for hunting and recite ‘Bismillah’, then whatever it hunts, you may eat it.” I asked, “Even if the dog has killed the prey?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Yes, even if it has killed it. And if it is not trained and you are able to slaughter it, then slaughter it and eat it. Whatever your bow returns to you, you may eat it.” I said, “We live in the area of Jews and Christians; they eat pork and drink wine. How should we use their pots and utensils?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “If you do not find any utensils except theirs, then wash them with water, then you may eat and drink in them.” Then I asked, “O Messenger of Allah! (ﷺ) What is lawful and what is unlawful for us?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Do not eat domesticated donkeys and any predatory animal that hunts with its fangs.”

It is narrated from Abu Tha’labah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I participated in the Battle of Khaybar with the Prophet (ﷺ). The people were hungry, and we came across some domesticated donkeys. We slaughtered them. When the Prophet (ﷺ) found out, he ordered Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him), who then announced among the people that for whoever testifies to my Prophethood, the meat of domesticated donkeys is not lawful. We found garlic and onions in the gardens there. Since the people were hungry, they took them out and began to eat. When they came to the mosque, the smell of garlic and onions had spread in the mosque. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Whoever eats these foul vegetables should not come near us. The animal obtained through looting is not lawful, nor is any animal hunted by a predator with fangs, nor any animal that has been shot as a target.

And he said, "Do not go near the meat of domesticated donkeys and any predatory animal that hunts with its fangs."

The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain.

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ (٢) ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الزُّبَيْدِيُّ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ سَيْفٍ الْكَلَاعِيِّ ثُمَّ مِنْ تَيْمٍ (٣) عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ عَائِذِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيِّ، قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَصَعَّدَ فِيَّ النَّظَرَ (٤) ، ثُمَّ صَوَّبَهُ فَقَالَ: " نُوَيْبِتَةٌ " قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، نُوَيْبِتَةُ خَيْرٍ، أَوْ نُوَيْبِتَةُ شَرٍّ؟ قَالَ: " بَلْ نُوَيْبِتَةُ خَيْرٍ " قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّا فِي أَرْضِ صَيْدٍ فَأُرْسِلُ كَلْبِي الْمُعَلَّمَ، فَمِنْهُ مَا أُدْرِكُ ذَكَاتَهُ، وَمِنْهُ مَا لَا أُدْرِكُ ذَكَاتَهُ، وَأَرْمِي بِسَهْمِي، فَمِنْهُ مَا أُدْرِكُ ذَكَاتَهُ، وَمِنْهُ مَا لَا أُدْرِكُ ذَكَاتَهُ (٥) ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " كُلْ مَا رَدَّتْ، ، عَلَيْكَ يَدُكَ، وَقَوْسُكَ، وَكَلْبُكَ الْمُعَلَّمُ ذَكِيًّا، وَغَيْرَ ذَكِيٍّ " (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Tha’labah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I presented myself in the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), so the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) looked at me from bottom to top, then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "There is a little news." I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) Is it good news or bad news?" He said, "It is good news." Then I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), we live in a hunting area. I release my trained dog for hunting, sometimes I get the chance to slaughter the animal and sometimes not (before I reach the prey, it has already died). Similarly, when I shoot an arrow, the same happens. What should I do?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Your hand, your bow, and your trained dog—whatever thing comes to you hunted by these, whether you get the chance to slaughter it or not, you may eat it."

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا النُّعْمَانُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنِ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، رَأَى فِي أَصْبُعِهِ (٢) خَاتَمًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، فَجَعَلَ يَقْرَعُ يَدَهُ بِعُودٍ مَعَهُ، فَغَفَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْهُ، فَأَخَذَ الْخَاتَمَ، فَرَمَى بِهِ، فَنَظَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَمْ يَرَهُ فِي أَصْبَعِهِ، فَقَالَ: " مَا أُرَانَا إِلَّا قَدْ أَوْجَعْنَاكَ وَأَغْرَمْنَاكَ " (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Tha'labah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (ﷺ) saw a gold ring in his hand. The Prophet (ﷺ) began to move his hand with his stick. Meanwhile, the Prophet (ﷺ) turned his attention elsewhere, so he took off his ring and threw it away. When the Prophet (ﷺ) looked again, he did not see the ring on his finger. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Perhaps we have caused you trouble and made you indebted."

حَدَّثَنَا مُهَنَّا بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ، وَعَفَّانُ وَهَذَا لَفْظُ مُهَنَّا، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي أَسْمَاءَ الرَّحَبِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيِّ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّا بِأَرْضِ أَهْلِ كِتَابٍ، أَفَنَطْبُخُ فِي قُدُورِهِمْ، وَنَشْرَبُ فِي آنِيَتِهِمْ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "، ، إِنْ لَمْ تَجِدُوا غَيْرَهَا، فَارْحَضُوهَا بِالْمَاءِ، وَاطْبُخُوا فِيهَا "، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا بِأَرْضِ صَيْدٍ فَكَيْفَ نَصْنَعُ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِذَا أَرْسَلْتَ كَلْبَكَ الْمُكَلَّبَ، وَذَكَرْتَ اسْمَ اللهِ، فَقَتَلَ فَكُلْ، وَإِنْ كَانَ غَيْرَ مُكَلَّبٍ فَذَكِّ وَكُلْ، وَإِذَا رَمَيْتَ بِسَهْمِكَ، وَذَكَرْتَ اسْمَ اللهِ، فَقَتَلَ، فَكُلْ " (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Tha’labah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he submitted in the court of the Messenger (ﷺ): O Messenger of Allah! We live in the area of the People of the Book. Can we cook food in their pots and drink from their utensils? The Prophet (ﷺ) said: If you do not find any other utensils, then wash those and you may cook food in them. Then I submitted: O Messenger of Allah! We live in a hunting area, what should we do? The Prophet (ﷺ) said: When you send your trained dog for hunting and you have pronounced the name of Allah upon it, and it kills the prey, then eat it. And if it is not trained, then slaughter the prey and eat it. Similarly, when you shoot an arrow taking the name of Allah, and the arrow kills the prey, then eat that as well.

حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِي ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيِّ، قَالَ: جَلَسَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى نَبِيِّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَفِي يَدِهِ خَاتَمٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، فَقَرَعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَهُ بِقَضِيبٍ كَانَ فِي يَدِهِ، ثُمَّ غَفَلَ عَنْهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَرَمَى الرَّجُلُ بِخَاتَمِهِ، فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: " أَيْنَ خَاتَمُكَ؟ " قَالَ: أَلْقَيْتُهُ. فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "، ، أَظُنُّنَا قَدْ أَوْجَعْنَاكَ وَأَغْرَمْنَاكَ " (١)،

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ، أَخْبَرَنِي رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيِّ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّا بِأَرْضِ قَوْمٍ (٢) أَهْلِ كِتَابٍ، أَفَنَأْكُلُ فِي آنِيَتِهِمْ؟ وَإِنَّا فِي أَرْضِ صَيْدٍ، أَصِيدُ بِقَوْسِي، وَأَصِيدُ بِكَلْبِي الْمُعَلَّمِ، وَأَصِيدُ بِكَلْبِي الَّذِي لَيْسَ بِمُعَلَّمٍ، فَأَخْبِرْنِي مَاذَا يَصْلُحُ؟ قَالَ " أَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتَ أَنَّكُمْ بِأَرْضِ أَهْلِ كِتَابٍ تَأْكُلُ فِي آنِيَتِهِمْ، فَإِنْ وَجَدْتُمْ غَيْرَ آنِيَتِهِمْ فَلَا تَأْكُلُوا فِيهَا، وَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدُوا غَيْرَ آنِيَتِهِمْ فَاغْسِلُوهَا، ثُمَّ كُلُوا فِيهَا، وَأَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتَ أَنَّكُمْ بِأَرْضِ صَيْدٍ فَإِنْ صِدْتَ بِقَوْسِكَ وَذَكَرْتَ اسْمَ اللهِ فَكُلْ، وَمَا صِدْتَ بِكَلْبِكَ الْمُعَلَّمِ فَاذْكُرْ اسْمَ اللهِ ثُمَّ كُلْ، وَمَا صِدْتَ بِكَلْبِكَ الَّذِي لَيْسَ بِمُعَلَّمٍ فَأَدْرَكْتَ ذَكَاتَهُ فَكُلْ " (٣)، ،
