حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ هَارُونُ بْنُ مُوسَى التَّلَّعُكْبَرِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الْكُلَيْنِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي كِتَابِ عَلِيٍّ ( عليه السلام ) فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ ما عَلَّمْتُمْ مِنَ الْجَوارِحِ مُكَلِّبِينَ قَالَ هِيَ الْكِلَابُ .

1. Narrated to us abu Muhammad Harun ibn Musa al-Tal‘akbariy, who has said that narrated to us abu Ja‘far Muhammad ibn Ya‘qub al- Kulayniy, who has said that narrated to him Ali ibn Ibrahim, from his father and Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa. All of them have narrated from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad ibn ‘Uthaman from al-Halabiy who has narrated the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘It is in the book of Ali (a.s.), about the meaning of the words of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, . . and whatever of the hunting beasts you may train. . . He (the Imam) has said, ‘It is a reference to (hunting) dogs.’” 

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ وَ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ عَنْهُمَا ( عليهما السلام ) جَمِيعاً أَنَّهُمَا قَالَا فِي الْكَلْبِ يُرْسِلُهُ الرَّجُلُ وَ يُسَمِّي قَالَا إِنْ أَخَذَهُ فَأَدْرَكْتَ ذَكَاتَهُ فَذَكِّهِ وَ إِنْ أَدْرَكْتَهُ وَ قَدْ قَتَلَهُ وَ أَكَلَ مِنْهُ فَكُلْ مَا بَقِيَ وَ لَا تَرَوْنَ مَا تَرَوْنَ فِي الْكَلْبِ .

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from ‘Umar ibn ‘Udhaynah from Muhammad ibn Muslim and from more than one person who has said the following: “About the case of a man who sends a hunting dog with the mention of the name of Allah, the two Imam, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, have stated this Hadith. ‘If the dog catches the prey and you arrive to slaughter it properly, then you must do so; but if you arrive when it has already killed the prey and has eaten thereof you can also eat what is left, however, you must not apply to other hunting animals what you apply to hunting dogs.’” 

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ سَالِمٍ الْأَشَلِّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الْكَلْبِ يُمْسِكُ عَلَى صَيْدِهِ وَ قَدْ أَكَلَ مِنْهُ قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِمَا أَكَلَ وَ هُوَ لَكَ حَلَالٌ .

3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Ali from ibn Faddal from ‘Abd Allah ibn Bukayr from Salim al-Ashal who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a dog which catches the prey, holds it in place and has eaten a part thereof. He (the Imam) said, ‘Dog’s eating is not harmful and it is lawful for you to use it for food.’” 

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ سَالِمٍ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ الْحَذَّاءِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُسَرِّحُ كَلْبَهُ الْمُعَلَّمَ وَ يُسَمِّي إِذَا سَرَّحَهُ فَقَالَ يَأْكُلُ مِمَّا أَمْسَكَ عَلَيْهِ فَإِذَا أَدْرَكَهُ قَبْلَ قَتْلِهِ ذَكَّاهُ وَ إِنْ وَجَدَ مَعَهُ كَلْباً غَيْرَ مُعَلَّمٍ فَلَا يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُفَقُلْتُ فَالْفَهْدُ قَالَ إِذَا أَدْرَكْتَ ذَكَاتَهُ فَكُلْ وَ إِلَّا فَلَا قُلْتُ أَ لَيْسَ الْفَهْدُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْكَلْبِ فَقَالَ لِي لَيْسَ شَيْ‏ءٌ مُكَلَّبٌ إِلَّا الْكَلْبُ .

4. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from [Salim] and Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad all from ibn Mahbub from ibn Ri’ab from abu ‘Ubaydah al- Hadhdha who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who sends his trained dog to catch a prey and mentions the name of Allah. He (the Imam) said, ‘He can use for food what the dog has caught and he must slaughter it properly, if he arrives at the site before the dog kills the prey. He must not use the catch for food if he finds a non-hunting dog with it.’ I asked about Cheetah. He (the Imam) said, ‘If you arrive in time to slaughter it properly then you can use it for food, otherwise, you cannot use it for food.’ I then asked, ‘Is not Cheetah like dog?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘No other animals are called Mukallab (dogged, trained dogs) except dogs.’” 

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَا قَتَلَتْ مِنَ الْجَوَارِحِ مُكَلِّبِينَ وَ ذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَيْهِ فَكُلُوا مِنْهُ وَ مَا قَتَلَتِ الْكِلَابُ الَّتِي لَمْ تُعَلِّمُوهَا مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تُدْرِكُوهُ فَلَا تَطْعَمُوهُ .

5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn abu Najran from ‘Asem ibn Hamid from Muhammad ibn Qays who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘What is killed by dogs trained for hunting and the name of Allah is mentioned, you can use it for food, and what is killed by dogs not trained before and before you arrive to slaughter properly, then do not use it for food.’” 

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي حَكَمُ بْنُ حُكَيْمٍ الصَّيْرَفِيُّ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مَا تَقُولُ فِي الْكَلْبِ يَصِيدُ الصَّيْدَ فَيَقْتُلُهُ فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِأَكْلِهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّهُ إِذَا قَتَلَهُ وَ أَكَلَ مِنْهُ فَإِنَّمَا أَمْسَكَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ فَلَا تَأْكُلْهُ فَقَالَ كُلْ أَ وَ لَيْسَ قَدْ جَامَعُوكُمْ عَلَى أَنَّ قَتْلَهُ ذَكَاتُهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَىقَالَ فَمَا يَقُولُونَ فِي شَاةٍ ذَبَحَهَا رَجُلٌ أَ ذَكَّاهَا قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَإِنَّ السَّبُعَ جَاءَ بَعْدَ مَا ذَكَّاهَا فَأَكَلَ مِنْهَا بَعْضَهَا أَ يُؤْكَلُ الْبَقِيَّةُ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَإِذَا أَجَابُوكَ إِلَى هَذَا فَقُلْ لَهُمْ كَيْفَ تَقُولُونَ إِذَا ذَكَّى ذَلِكَ وَ أَكَلَ مِنْهَا لَمْ تَأْكُلُوا وَ إِذَا ذَكَّاهَا هَذَا وَ أَكَلَ أَكَلْتُمْ .

6. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Yahya from Jamil ibn Darraj al-Marwah has said that narrated to me Hakam ibn Hakim al-Sayrafiy who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the hunting dog which hunts and kills the prey. He (the Imam) said, ’It is not unlawful and you can use it for food.’ I then said, ’They say that if the dog kills the prey it has caught it for itself, thus, you must not use it for food.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘You can use it for food. Do they not all agree with you that its kill is proper slaughtering?’ I replied, ‘Yes, it is true.’ He (the Imam) then asked, ‘What do they say about a sheep slaughtered by a man? Is his slaughtering proper?’ I replied, ‘Yes, he has done so.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If a beast comes and after his slaughtering eats something from the slaughtered sheep can the rest be used for food?’ I replied, ‘Yes, it can be used for food.’ He (the Imam) said that if they answer you in this way ask them this question. ‘How is it that even though what is slaughtered properly (the catch of the trained hunting dog) and the dog ate thereof, you do not use the rest for food, but you use for food the sheep slaughtered by a man and a beast eats thereof?”’ 

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَسِّنِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَرْسَلَ كَلْبَهُ فَأَدْرَكَهُ وَ قَدْ قَتَلَ قَالَ كُلْ وَ إِنْ أَكَلَ .

7. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from Muhsin ibn Ahmad from Yunus ibn Ya’qub who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who sends his dog and he arrives at the site when the dog has killed the prey. He (the Imam) said, ‘You can use it for food even if the dog has eaten thereof.’” 

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ جَمِيعاً عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُرْسِلُ الْكَلْبَ عَلَى الصَّيْدِ فَيَأْخُذُهُ وَ لَا يَكُونُ مَعَهُ سِكِّينٌ يُذَكِّيهِ بِهَا أَ يَدَعُهُ حَتَّى يَقْتُلَهُ وَ يَأْكُلَ مِنْهُ قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ قَالَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَكُلُوا مِمَّا أَمْسَكْنَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ لَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُؤْكَلَ مِمَّا قَتَلَ الْفَهْدُ .

8. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad, Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father, and Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad all from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr from Jamil ibn Darraj who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who sends his dog to catch a prey which the dog catches; but he does not have a knife to slaughter it and about if he can leave it alone for the dog to kill and eat thereof. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not unlawful because Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has said, ‘Eat what they catch for you’, but it is not proper to eat what a cheetah has killed.’” 

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ سَيْفِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ صَيْدِ الْبُزَاةِ وَ الصُّقُورِ وَ الْكَلْبِ وَ الْفَهْدِ فَقَالَ لَا تَأْكُلْ صَيْدَ شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ إِلَّا مَا ذَكَّيْتُمُوهُ إِلَّا الْكَلْبَ الْمُكَلَّبَ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ قَتَلَهُ قَالَ كُلْ لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ وَ ما عَلَّمْتُمْ مِنَ الْجَوارِحِ مُكَلِّبِينَ... فَكُلُوا مِمَّا أَمْسَكْنَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ اذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ .

9. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Sayf ibn ‘Amirah from abu Bakr al- Hadramiy who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the hunting of Falcons, hawks, dogs and leopards. He (the Imam) said, ‘Do not use for food what is hunted by any of these unless you slaughter it properly, except dogs trained for hunting.’ I then asked, ‘What happens if the dog kills it?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘You can use it for food; Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, says, “. . . and what you train of dogs for hunting, eat of what they catch for you and mention the name of Allah on it.” (5:4)’” 

وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ سَيْفِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ تَغْلِبَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَلْمَانَ يَقُولُ كُلْ مِمَّا أَمْسَكَ الْكَلْبُ وَ إِنْ أَكَلَ ثُلُثَيْهِ .

10. It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Sayf ibn ‘Amirah from Aban ibn Taghlib from Sa‘id ibn Musayyib who has said the following: “I heard Salman saying, ‘You can use for food the prey that dogs catch for you even if the dog has eaten two-thirds of it.’” 

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ الْكِلَابُ الْكُرْدِيَّةُ إِذَا عُلِّمَتْ فَهِيَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ السَّلُوقِيَّةِ .

11. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Nawfaliy from al-Sakuniy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘The dogs of al-Kurdiyah (Kurdish people), when you train them, are like the dogs of al-Saluqiyyah (name of town in Yemen).”’ 

وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ سَيْفِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ عَنْ سَالِمٍ الْأَشَلِّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ صَيْدِ الْكَلْبِ الْمُعَلَّمِ قَدْ أَكَلَ مِنْ صَيْدِهِ قَالَ كُلْ مِنْهُ .

12. It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from Sayf ibn ‘Amirah from Mansur ibn Hazim from Salim al-Ashal who has said the following: “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.”’ 

الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) 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 .

13. Al-Husayn from Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Ali from Aban ibn ‘Uthman from ‘Abd al- Rahman ibn abu ‘Abd Allah who has said the following: “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 well as the remaining of what the dog has eaten.’” 

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ بَكْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَنَّهُ قَالَ 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 مُعَلَّمٌفَأَمَّا خِلَافُ الْكَلْبِ مِمَّا يَصِيدُ الْفَهْدُ وَ الصَّقْرُ وَ أَشْبَاهُ ذَلِكَ فَلَا تَأْكُلْ مِنْ صَيْدِهِ إِلَّا مَا أَدْرَكْتَ ذَكَاتَهُ لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ مُكَلِّبِينَ فَمَا كَانَ خِلَافَ الْكَلْبِ فَلَيْسَ صَيْدُهُ مِمَّا يُؤْكَلُ إِلَّا أَنْ تُدْرِكَ ذَكَاتَهُ .

14. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Musa ibn Bakr from Zurarah who has said the following: “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 sent to catch and it did and ate thereof, the dog is still a trained dog. On the other hand different from hunting dogs is what leopards, hawks and similar animals hunt. You must not use it for food unless you arrive in time to slaughter it properly; Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, says, ‘Mukallabin’ (dogged, trained dogs), thus, what is different from dogs its hunting is not edible unless you arrive in time to slaughter it.’” 

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ إِنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ صَيْدِ الْبَازِي وَ الْكَلْبِ إِذَا صَادَ وَ قَدْ قَتَلَ صَيْدَهُ وَ أَكَلَ مِنْهُ آكُلُ فَضْلَهُمَا أَمْ لَا فَقَالَ ( عليه السلام ) 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 .

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “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 Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, you can use it for food even if the dog has eaten thereof.’” 

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مِنْ كَلْبٍ أَفْلَتَ وَ لَمْ يُرْسِلْهُ صَاحِبُهُ فَصَادَ فَأَدْرَكَهُ صَاحِبُهُ وَ قَدْ قَتَلَهُ أَ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ لَاوَ قَالَ ( عليه السلام ) إِذَا صَادَ وَ قَدْ سَمَّى فَلْيَأْكُلْ وَ إِنْ صَادَ وَ لَمْ يُسَمِّ فَلَا يَأْكُلْ وَ هَذَا مِنْ ما عَلَّمْتُمْ مِنَ الْجَوارِحِ مُكَلِّبِينَ .

16. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd from al-Qasim ibn Sulayman who has said the following: “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 use it for food but if the name of Allah is not mentioned he must not use it for food and that is the meaning of ‘. . .and what you train of dogs for hunting.’” 

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ حُكَيْمٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أُرْسِلُ الْكَلْبَ وَ أُسَمِّي عَلَيْهِ فَيَصِيدُ وَ لَيْسَ مَعِي مَا أُذَكِّيهِ بِهِ قَالَ دَعْهُ حَتَّى يَقْتُلَهُ وَ كُلْ .

17. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Mu‘awiyah ibn Hakim from abu Malik al-Hadramiy from Jamil ibn Darraj who has said the following: “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.’” 

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ بَكْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ 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 .

18. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Musa ibn Bakr from Zurarah who has said the following: “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.’” 

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ 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 .

19. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from certain persons of our people from al-Hassan ibn Ali from Ali ibn abu Hamzah from his father from abu Basir who has said the following: “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 without training.’” 

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) الْكَلْبُ الْأَسْوَدُ الْبَهِيمُ لَا يُؤْكَلُ صَيْدُهُ لِأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِهِ .

20. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Nawfaliy from al-Sakuniy who has said the following: “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.’”
