سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ صَيْدِ الْكَلْبِ الْمُعَلَّمِ قَدْ أَكَلَ مِنْ صَيْدِهِ قَالَ كُلْ مِنْهُ.
“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about dog trained for hunting which has eaten of the prey. He (the Imam) said, ‘You can use it (the prey) for food.”’
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَرْسَلَ كَلْبَهُ فَأَخَذَ صَيْداً فَأَكَلَ مِنْهُ آكُلُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ فَقَالَ كُلْ مِمَّا قَتَلَ الْكَلْبُ إِذَا سَمَّيْتَ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنْ كُنْتَ نَاسِياً فَكُلْ مِنْهُ أَيْضاً وَ كُلْ فَضْلَهُ[2].
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who sends his dog, it catches a prey and eats thereof: if one can use the remaining for food. He (the Imam) said, ‘You can use for food what a dog has killed when you mention the name of Allah on it. If you forget to do so you still can use it for food as wel
فِي صَيْدِ الْكَلْبِ إِنْ أَرْسَلَهُ الرَّجُلُ وَ سَمَّى فَلْيَأْكُلْ مِمَّا أَمْسَكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ إِنْ قَتَلَ وَ إِنْ أَكَلَ فَكُلْ مَا بَقِيَ وَ إِنْ كَانَ غَيْرَ مُعَلَّمٍ يُعَلِّمُهُ فِي سَاعَتِهِ ثُمَّ يُرْسِلُهُ فَيَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ مُعَلَّمٌ فَأَمَّا خِلَافُ الْكَلْبِ مِمَّا يَصِيدُ الْفَهْدُ وَ الصَّقْرُ وَ أَشْبَاهُ ذَلِكَ فَلَا تَأْكُلْ مِنْ صَيْدِهِ إِلَّا مَا أَدْرَكْتَ ذَكَاتَهُ لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ عَز
“About the case of a man’s sending a hunting dog, with the mention of the name of Allah, to catch a prey, abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has stated this Hadith. ‘He can use it (the catch) for food even if the dog kills it and has eaten thereof. If the dog is not trained already for hunting, but is trained at that hour, then is
إِنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ صَيْدِ الْبَازِي وَ الْكَلْبِ إِذَا صَادَ وَ قَدْ قَتَلَ صَيْدَهُ وَ أَكَلَ مِنْهُ آكُلُ فَضْلَهُمَا أَمْ لَا فَقَالَ ع أَمَّا مَا قَتَلَتْهُ الطَّيْرُ فَلَا تَأْكُلْهُ إِلَّا أَنْ تُذَكِّيَهُ وَ أَمَّا مَا قَتَلَهُ الْكَلْبُ وَ قَدْ ذَكَرْتَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَيْهِ فَكُلْ وَ إِنْ أَكَلَ مِنْهُ.
“Once abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), was asked about the hunting of falcons and dogs that kill the prey and eat thereof; if the remaining can be used for food. He (the Imam) said, ‘Do not use for food what birds like falcons kill, unless you slaughter it properly; but if it is killed by dog when you have mentioned the name of
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مِنْ كَلْبٍ أَفْلَتَ وَ لَمْ يُرْسِلْهُ صَاحِبُهُ فَصَادَ فَأَدْرَكَهُ صَاحِبُهُ وَ قَدْ قَتَلَهُ أَ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ لَا وَ قَالَ ع إِذَا صَادَ وَ قَدْ سَمَّى فَلْيَأْكُلْ وَ إِنْ صَادَ وَ لَمْ يُسَمِّ فَلَا يَأْكُلْ وَ هَذَا مِنْ ما عَلَّمْتُمْ مِنَ الْجَوارِحِ مُكَلِّبِينَ[1].
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a dog that slips away without his owner’s sending to hunt but it hunts and the owner arrives when it has killed the prey; if he can use it for food. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, it is not lawful for food.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If it hunts and the name of Allah is mentioned he can
قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أُرْسِلُ الْكَلْبَ وَ أُسَمِّي عَلَيْهِ فَيَصِيدُ وَ لَيْسَ مَعِي مَا أُذَكِّيهِ بِهِ قَالَ دَعْهُ حَتَّى يَقْتُلَهُ وَ كُلْ.
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about my sending a dog to hunt and after mentioning the name of Allah, when I have nothing with me to slaughter the prey. He (the Imam) said, ‘Allow the dog to kill the prey, then you can use it for food.’”
إِذَا أَرْسَلَ الرَّجُلُ كَلْبَهُ وَ نَسِيَ أَنْ يُسَمِّيَ فَهُوَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ مَنْ ذَبَحَ وَ نَسِيَ أَنْ يُسَمِّيَ وَ كَذَلِكَ إِذَا رَمَى بِالسَّهْمِ وَ نَسِيَ أَنْ يُسَمِّيَ.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If a man sends a dog but forgets to mention the name of Allah, it then is like slaughtering and forgetting to mention the name of Allah and so also is the case of shooting the prey with an arrow and forgetting to mention the name of Allah.’”
سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَوْمٍ أَرْسَلُوا كِلَابَهُمْ وَ هِيَ مُعَلَّمَةٌ كُلُّهَا وَ قَدْ سَمَّوْا عَلَيْهَا فَلَمَّا أَنْ مَضَتِ الْكِلَابُ دَخَلَ فِيهَا كَلْبٌ غَرِيبٌ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا لَهُ صَاحِباً فَاشْتَرَكْنَ جَمِيعاً فِي الصَّيْدِ فَقَالَ لَا يُؤْكَلُ مِنْهُ لِأَنَّكَ لَا تَدْرِي أَخَذَهُ مُعَلَّمٌ أَمْ لَا.
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a people who send their trained dogs to hunt and who mention the name of Allah. When the dogs go, a stray dog joins them and the dogs jointly hunt. He (the Imam) said, ‘Do not use it for food because you do not know if the trained ones have hunted it or the one wit
قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع الْكَلْبُ الْأَسْوَدُ الْبَهِيمُ لَا يُؤْكَلُ صَيْدُهُ لِأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ع أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِهِ[2].
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that ’Amir al-Mu’minin has said, ‘What a very black colored dog hunts is not edible because the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, commanded to kill it.’”
