Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us, who said: Shu'bah narrated to us, from Simak ibn Harb, who said: I heard Murayy ibn Qatari, who said: I heard Adi ibn Hatim say: I said: O Messenger of Allah, my father used to maintain the ties of kinship and do such and such. He said: Your father wanted something and he attained it - meaning good remembrance. He said: I said: I am asking you about a food which I only avoid out of scruple. He said: Do not avoid anything in which you resemble Christianity. I said: I release my dog and it catches the game, and I do not have with me anything to slaughter it with, so I slaughter it with a sharp stone and a stick. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Let the blood flow with whatever you wish and mention the name of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Husayn narrated to us: Shu'bah narrated to us and mentioned it with its chain, except that he said: I heard Murayy ibn Qatari al-Ta'i, and he said: Your father wanted something and attained it - Simak said: meaning the remembrance. Bahz narrated to us: Hammad ibn Salamah narrated to us: Simak ibn Harb narrated to us, and he mentioned it from the point about hunting, and he said: Let the blood flow.
