Ubaydullah ibn Muadh al-Anbari narrated to us: My father narrated to us: Shubah narrated to us, from Abdullah ibn Abi al-Safar, from al-Shabi, from Adi ibn Hatim, who said: I asked the Messenger of Allah about a miʿrad. He said: “If it strikes with its point, eat the game; but if it strikes with its broad side and kills it, it has been beaten to death, so do not eat it.” I also asked the Messenger of Allah about a dog. He said: “When you send your dog after mentioning the name of Allah, eat the game. If it eats from it, do not eat it, for it caught it for itself.” I asked: “What if I find another dog with my dog and do not know which one caught it?” He said: “Do not eat it, for you mentioned the name of Allah over your dog and not over the other.”
