Sha'bi reported:
وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مَسْرُوقٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الشَّعْبِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَدِيَّ بْنَ حَاتِمٍ، وَكَانَ لَنَا جَارًا وَدَخِيلًا وَرَبِيطًا بِالنَّهْرَيْنِ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: أُرْسِلُ كَلْبِي، فَأَجِدُ مَعَ كَلْبِي كَلْبًا قَدْ أَخَذَ، لَا أَدْرِي أَيُّهُمَا أَخَذَ؟ قَالَ: «فَلَا تَأْكُلْ، فَإِنَّمَا سَمَّيْتَ عَلَى كَلْبِكَ، وَلَمْ تُسَمِّ عَلَى غَيْرِهِ».
I heard Adi bin Hatim رضی اللہ عنہ say-and he was our neighbor, and our partner and co worker at Nahrain-that he asked Allah's Apostle (may peace he upon him) saying: I let off my dog and find another dog along with my dog and that (any one of them) catches the (game), but I do not know which one had caught it, whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Then don't eat that, for you recited the name of Allah while letting off your dog and did not recite on the other.
