It was narrated that ‘Adiyy bin Hatim said: “I said: ‘Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, we are a people who hunt, and one of us may shoot his arrow but (the game) gets away from him for a night or two. What if he follows its tracks, and finds it dead with his arrow in it?’ He said: ‘If you find the arrow in it, and you do not find any sign of predators, and you know that your arrow killed it, then eat it.”
