Sunan at-Tirmithiy كتاب الصيد والذبائح باب ما جاء فى صيد المعراض
حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ عِيسَى حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا عَنِ الشَّعْبِىِّ عَنْ عَدِىِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ النَّبِىَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ صَيْدِ الْمِعْرَاضِ فَقَالَ مَا أَصَبْتَ بِحَدِّهِ فَكُلْ وَمَا أَصَبْتَ بِعَرْضِهِ فَهُوَ وَقِيذٌ.
The Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, was asked about game caught with a wooden spear. He replied, "Whatever you hit with its edge (1), [is for you to] eat. And whatever you hit with its shaft is [considered to have been] killed by a violent blow (2)."
(1) i.e. the spear pierced the animal. (2) The meat of an animal that has died as a result of a violent blow is forbidden; see verse (5 [al-Māídah]:3).
