Hadith 12:152
Abu Bakr narrated to us, he said: Abu Usamah narrated to us, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Yazid ibn Jabir, he said: Makhul narrated to us that a man came to Fudalah ibn Ubayd, a companion of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), with sparrows he had hunted with a *mi'rad* (a blunt-headed arrow). Some of them he had put in his bag, and some of them he had tied with a string. He said: "This is what I have hunted with a *mi'rad*. Among them are those whose slaughtering I managed to perform, and among them are those whose slaughtering I did not manage to perform." He (Fudalah) said: "As for those whose slaughtering you managed to perform, eat them; and as for those whose slaughtering you did not manage to perform, do not eat them."
حدثنا أبو بكر قال نا أبو أسامة عن عبد الرحمن بن يزيد بن جابر قال نا مكحول ان رجلا أتى فضالة بن عبيد صاحب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بعصافير صادهن بمعراض فمنها ما جعله في مخلاته ومنها ما جعله في خيط فقال هذا ما أصدت بمعراض منها ما أدركت ذكاته ومنها ما لم أدرك ذكاته فقال ما أدركت ذكاته فكل وما لم تدرك ذكاته فلا تأكله
