eat what they catch for you. He asked: Whether it is
slaughtered or not? He replied: Yes. He asked: Does it
apply even if it eats any of it? He replied: Even if it
eats any of it. He again asked: Apostle of Allah, tell
me your opinion about my bow (i.e. the game hunted by
arrow). He said: Eat what your bow returns to you,
whether it is slaughtered or not. He asked: If it goes
out of my sight? He replied: Even if it goes out of your
sight, provided it has no stench, or you find a mark on
