Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْخَيَّاطُ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيِّ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِذَا رَمَيْتَ الصَّيْدَ فَأَدْرَكْتَهُ بَعْدَ ثَلاَثِ لَيَالٍ وَسَهْمُكَ فِيهِ فَكُلْهُ مَا لَمْ يُنْتِنْ " .
Translation
Yahya ibn Ma'in narrated to us: Hammad ibn Khalid al-Khayyat narrated to us, from Mu'awiyah ibn Salih, from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Jubayr ibn Nufayr, from his father, from Abu Tha'labah al-Khushani, from the Prophet (ﷺ), who said: ‘If you shoot at game and come upon it after three nights with your arrow still in it, eat it, so long as it has not begun to smell.’
