Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 3|Book 2|Chapter 36
وَ رَوَى أَبَانُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عِيسَى اَلْقُمِّيِّ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَرْمِي بِسَهْمٍ فَلاَ أَدْرِي أَ سَمَّيْتُ أَمْ لَمْ أُسَمِّ فَقَالَ "كُلْ وَ لاَ بَأْسَ " فَقُلْتُ أَرْمِي فَيَغِيبُ عَنِّي فَأَجِدُ سَهْمِي فِيهِ فَقَالَ "كُلْ مَا لَمْ يُؤْكَلْ مِنْهُ وَ إِنْ أُكِلَ مِنْهُ فَلاَ تَأْكُلْ" مِنْهُ.
Aban ibn Uthman narrated from Isa al-Qummi who said: I said to Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: "I shoot an arrow, but I do not know whether I mentioned the name of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (Bismillah) or not." Imam عليه السلام said: "Eat, and there is no problem." I said: "I shoot, and it disappears from my sight, then I find my arrow in it." Imam عليه السلام said: "Eat as long as nothing has been eaten from it. But if something has been eaten from it, then do not eat it."
