أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ جَمِيعاً عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الصَّيْدِ يَرْمِيهِ الرَّجُلُ بِسَهْمٍ فَيُصِيبُهُ مُعْتَرِضاً فَيَقْتُلُهُ وَ قَدْ كَانَ سَمَّى حِينَ رَمَى وَ لَمْ تُصِبْهُ الْحَدِيدَةُ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ السَّهْمُ الَّذِي أَصَابَهُ هُوَ الَّذِي قَتَلَهُ فَإِذَا رَآهُ فَلْيَأْكُلْ .
4. Abu Ali al-Ash‘ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar and Muhammad ibn ’Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from all from Safwan ibn Yahya from ibn Muskan from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah , about a prey that is shot by a man with an arrow and it hits widthwise and kills it. He had mentioned the name of Allah when shooting but no iron has hit the prey. He (the Imam) said, ‘If the arrow that has hit is the one that has caused its death and he has seen it, he can use it for food.’”
