Abū ʿĀṣim narrated to us, from Ḥaywah ibn Shurayḥ, who said: Rabīʿah ibn Yazīd al-Dimashqī narrated to me, saying: Abū Idrīs al-Khawlānī narrated to me, saying: Abū Thaʿlabah al-Khushanī narrated to me, saying: “I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, ‘Messenger of God, we are in a land of the People of the Book, and we eat from their vessels. We are also in a land of game: I hunt with my bow, with my trained dog, and with my untrained dog.’ The Prophet ﷺ said: ‘As for what you mentioned—that you are in a land of the People of the Book—do not eat from their vessels unless you have no alternative. If you have no alternative, wash them and eat. As for what you mentioned about being in a land of game: whatever you hunt with your bow, invoke God’s name and eat; whatever you hunt with your trained dog, invoke God’s name and eat; and whatever you hunt with your untrained dog, if you reach it while it is still fit for slaughter, eat it.’”
