Muḥammad ibn al-Muthannā narrated to us: al-Ḍaḥḥāk ibn Makhlad narrated to us: Ḥaywah ibn Shurayḥ narrated to us: Rabīʿah ibn Yazīd told me: Abū Idrīs al-Khawlānī informed me, from Abū Thaʿlabah al-Khushanī, who said: I came to the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: Messenger of God, we live in a land of the People of the Book and eat from their vessels. We also live in a land for hunting: I hunt with my bow, with my trained dog, and with my untrained dog. The Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) said: As for what you mentioned about living among 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 from them. As for hunting, mention the name of God over what you shoot with your bow and eat it. Mention the name of God over what you catch with your trained dog and eat it. If you catch game with your untrained dog and reach it while it is still alive, slaughter it and eat it.
