حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا بَيَانُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّا قَوْمٌ نَصِيدُ بِهَذِهِ الْكِلَابِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِذَا أَرْسَلْتَ كِلَابَكَ الْمُعَلَّمَةَ وَذَكَرْتَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهَا فَكُلْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏مَا أَمْسَكْنَ عَلَيْكَ إِنْ قَتَلْنَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَأْكُلَ الْكَلْبُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنْ أَكَلَ الْكَلْبُ فَلَا تَأْكُلْ فَإِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يَكُونَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنَّمَا أَمْسَكَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنْ خَالَطَهَا كِلَابٌ أُخَرُ فَلَا تَأْكُلْ قَالَ ابْن مَاجَةَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُهُ يَعْنِي عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْمُنْذِرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ حَجَجْتُ ثَمَانِيَةً وَخَمْسِينَ حِجَّةً أَكْثَرُهَا رَاجِلٌ.

“I asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ): ‘We are people who hunt with these dogs.’ He said: ‘If you send out your trained dogs and mention the Name of Allah over them, then eat whatever they catch even if they kill it, unless the dog has eaten any of it. If the dog has eaten any of it then do not eat it, for I fear that it will have caught it for itself. And if another dog joins it, then do not eat it.’” Ibn Majah said: "I heard him, meaning Ali bin Mundhir (the narrator), saying: 'I performed Hajj fifty-eight times, most of them walking.'"
