Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الزُّبَيْدِيُّ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ سَيْفٍ الْكَلَاعِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ عَائِذِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيِّ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَصَعَّدَ فِيَّ النَّظَرَ ثُمَّ صَوَّبَهُ فَقَالَ نُوَيْبِتَةٌ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نُوَيْبِتَةُ خَيْرٍ أَوْ نُوَيْبِتَةُ شَرٍّ قَالَ بَلْ نُوَيْبِتَةُ خَيْرٍ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا فِي أَرْضِ صَيْدٍ فَأُرْسِلُ كَلْبِي الْمُعَلَّمَ فَمِنْهُ مَا أُدْرِكُ ذَكَاتَهُ وَمِنْهُ مَا لَا أُدْرِكُ ذَكَاتَهُ وَأَرْمِي بِسَهْمِي فَمِنْهُ مَا أُدْرِكُ ذَكَاتَهُ وَمِنْهُ مَا لَا أُدْرِكُ ذَكَاتَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كُلْ مَا رَدَّتْ عَلَيْكَ يَدُكَ وَقَوْسُكَ وَكَلْبُكَ الْمُعَلَّمُ ذَكِيًّا وَغَيْرَ ذَكِيٍّ.
English Translation
Yazid ibn Abd Rabbih told us, he said Muhammad ibn Harb told us, he said al-Zubaydi told us, from Yunus ibn Sayf al-Kala'i, from Abu Idris A'idhullah ibn Abdullah al-Khawlani, from Abu Tha'labah al-Khushani who said: I came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and he raised his gaze at me then lowered it, and said: A small new matter. I said: O Messenger of Allah, is it a small matter of good or a small matter of evil? He said: Rather it is a small matter of good. I said: O Messenger of Allah, we are in a land of hunting - I send my trained dog, and some of what it catches I reach in time to slaughter and some I do not reach in time to slaughter, and I shoot my arrow, and some of what it hits I reach in time to slaughter and some I do not reach in time to slaughter. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Eat whatever your hand and your bow and your trained dog bring back to you, whether it has been slaughtered or not.
