Al-Kāfi|Volume 6|Book 3|Chapter 1
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ حُكَيْمٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أُرْسِلُ الْكَلْبَ وَ أُسَمِّي عَلَيْهِ فَيَصِيدُ وَ لَيْسَ مَعِي مَا أُذَكِّيهِ بِهِ قَالَ دَعْهُ حَتَّى يَقْتُلَهُ وَ كُلْ .
17. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Mu‘awiyah ibn Hakim from abu Malik al-Hadramiy from Jamil ibn Darraj who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about my sending a dog to hunt and after mentioning the name of Allah, when I have nothing with me to slaughter the prey. He (the Imam) said, ‘Allow the dog to kill the prey, then you can use it for food.’”
