Al-Kāfi - The Book of Hunting

وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْ٠َّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْ٠َنِ بْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ عَنْ عَاصِ٠َّدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلا٠َنْ جَرَحَ صَيْداً بِسِلَاحٍ وَ ذَكَرَ اسْ٠َ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَيْهِ ثُ٠َّ بَقِيَ لَيْلَةً أَوْ لَيْلَتَيْنِ لَ٠ِنْهُ سَبُعٌ وَ قَدْ عَلِ٠َ أَنَّ سِلَاحَهُ هُوَ الَّذِي قَتَلَهُ فَيَأْكُلُ ٠ِنْهُ إِنْ شَاءَوَ قَالَ فِي إِيَّلٍ اصْطَادَهُ رَجُلٌ فَتَقَطَّعَهُ النَّاسُ وَ الرَّجُلُ يَتْبَعُهُ أَ فَتَرَاهُ نُهْبَةً فَقَالَ ( عليه السلا٠) لَيْسَ بِنُهْبَةٍ وَ لَيْسَ بِهِ بَأْسٌ.

‘If one causes injuries to a prey and mentions the name of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, then it remains for one or two nights without being eaten by the beasts; and he knows that his weapon is that which has caused its death, he can use it for food if he wants.’ About a mountain goat hunted by a man but people intercept him and the man follows it; if you consider it a plunder.

He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not plundering and it is not unlawful.’” صحيح - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (21/347))
