Chapter 2 | Hunting of Falcons, Hawks and Others

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَرْسَلَ كَلْبَهُ وَ صَقْرَهُ فَقَالَ أَمَّا الصَّقْرُ فَلَا تَأْكُلْ مِنْ صَيْدِهِ حَتَّى تُدْرِكَ ذَكَاتَهُ وَ أَمَّا الْكَلْبُ فَكُلْ مِنْهُ إِذَا ذَكَرْتَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ أَكَلَ الْكَلْبُ مِنْهُ أَمْ لَمْ يَأْكُلْ .

3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Aban ibn ‘Uthman from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sulayman who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah , about the case of a man who sends his dog and hawk to hunt. He (the Imam) said, ‘Do not use for food what the hawk hunts, unless you arrive in time to slaughter it properly. You can use for food what the dog hunts if you have mentioned the name of Allah on it, regardless, the dog has eaten anything or has not eaten.’”
