حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ، عَنْ أَبِي ثَعْلَبَةَ، وَالْحَجَّاجُ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَائِذِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيَّ، قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا أَهْلُ صَيْدٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏

"‏ إِذَا أَرْسَلْتَ كَلْبَكَ وَذَكَرْتَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَأَمْسَكَ عَلَيْكَ فَكُلْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ وَإِنْ قَتَلَ قَالَ ‏"‏ وَإِنْ قَتَلَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ إِنَّا أَهْلُ رَمْىٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ مَا رَدَّتْ عَلَيْكَ قَوْسُكَ فَكُلْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ قُلْتُ إِنَّا أَهْلُ سَفَرٍ نَمُرُّ بِالْيَهُودِ وَالنَّصَارَى وَالْمَجُوسِ فَلاَ نَجِدُ غَيْرَ آنِيَتِهِمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدُوا غَيْرَهَا فَاغْسِلُوهَا بِالْمَاءِ ثُمَّ كُلُوا فِيهَا وَاشْرَبُوا ‏"

Narrated Abu Tha'labah Al-Khushani:

"I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! We are a people who hunt.' He said: 'If you send your dog and you mentioned the Name of Allah upon it, and he catches something for you, then eat it.' I said: 'Even if he kills it?' He said: 'Even if he kills it.' I said: 'We are a people who shoot (at game).' He said: 'What you catch with your bow, then eat it.'" He said: "Then I said:'Indeed we are a people who travel. We come across Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians, and we do not find vessels other than theirs.' He said: 'If you do not find other than them, then wash them with water, then eat and drink from it.'"

Al-Mubarakfuri — Tuhfat al-Ahwadhi

قَوْلُهُ : ( مَا رَدَّتْ عَلَيْك قَوْسُك ) أَيْ مَا صِدْت بِسَهْمِك ( فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدُوا غَيْرَهَا فَاغْسِلُوهَا بِالْمَاءِ ثُمَّ كُلُوا فِيهَا وَاشْرَبُوا ) قَالَ الْبِرْمَاوِيُّ : ظَاهِرُهُ أَنَّهُ لَا يَسْتَعْمِلُ آنِيَتَهُمْ بَعْدَ الْغَسْلِ إِذَا وَجَدَ غَيْرَهَا. وَقَدْ قَالَ الْفُقَهَاءُ يَجُوزُ اِسْتِعْمَالُ آنِيَتِهِمْ بَعْدَ الْغَسْلِ بِلَا كَرَاهِيَةٍ سَوَاءٌ وَجَدَ غَيْرَهَا أَوْ لَا , فَتُحْمَلُ الْكَرَاهَةُ فِي الْحَدِيثِ عَلَى أَنَّ الْمُرَادَ الْآنِيَةُ الَّتِي كَانُوا يَطْبُخُونَ فِيهَا لُحُومَ الْخِنْزِيرِ وَيَشْرَبُونَ فِيهَا الْخَمْرَ , وَإِنَّمَا نَهَى عَنْهَا بَعْدَ الْغَسْلِ لِلِاسْتِقْذَارِ وَكَوْنِهَا مُعْتَادَةَ النَّجَاسَةِ. وَمُرَادُ الْفُقَهَاءِ الْأَوَانِي الَ…
