عن أبي ثَعْلبة الخُشني رضي الله عنه قال: «أَتَيْتُ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقلت: يا رسول الله، إنا بأرض قوم أهل كتاب، أَفَنَأْكُلُ في آنِيَتِهِم؟ وفي أرض صيد، أَصِيدُ بِقَوْسِي وبِكَلْبِي الذي ليس بِمُعَلَّمٍ، وبِكَلْبِي المُعَلَّمِ، فما يَصلح لي؟ قال: أمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتَ- يعني من آنية أهل الكتاب-: فإِنْ وجدْتُمْ غيرها فلا تأكلوا فيها، وإِنْ لم تَجِدُوا فاغسِلوهَا، وكلوا فِيهَا، وما صدتَ بِقَوْسِكَ، فذَكَرْتَ اسمَ الله عَلَيه فَكُلْ، وما صِدْتَ بِكَلْبِكَ المُعَلَّمِ، فَذَكَرْتَ اسْمَ الله عليه فَكُلْ، وما صِدْتَ بِكَلْبِكَ غيرِ المُعَلَّمِ فَأَدْرَكْتَ ذَكَاتَهُ فَكُلْ».
Kutoka kwa Abuu Tha'laba Al-khushaniy- Radhi za Mwenyezi Mungu ziwe juu yake- Amesema: "Nilimuendea Mtume -Rehema na Amani ziwe juu yake- Nikasema: Ewe Mjumbe wa Mwenyezi Mungu, Hakika sisi tuko katika ardhi ya watu wa kitabu, je tule katika vyombo vyao? na katika ardhi ya mawindo, ninawinda kwa upinde wangu na kwa mbwa wangu ambaye hajafunzwa, na kwa mbwa aliyefunzwa, ni kipi kinachofaa kwangu? Akasema: Ama ulichokisema- yaani kuhusu vyombo vya watu wa kitabu- : mkipata vyombo vingine basi msile katika vyombo hivyo, msipopata vingine basi viosheni, na kuleni ndani yake, na ulichokiwinda kwa upinde wako, ukataja jina la Mwenyezi Mungu juu yake basi kula, na ulichokiwinda kwa mbwa wako aliyefunzwa, na ukataja jina la Mwenyezi Mungu juu yake basi kula, na ulichowinda kwa mbwa wako ambaye hajafunzwa ukaweza kukichinja basi kula".
Abu Tha‘labah al-Khushani (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I went to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and asked: "We live in the land of the People of the Book; can we eat in their plates? It is also a land of game, and I hunt the game with my bow, with my untrained hound and with my trained hound. What is lawful for me to eat?" He said: "As for what you have mentioned about the plates of the People of the Book, if you can find other plates, do not use theirs, but if you cannot find (other than theirs), wash their plates and eat in them. If you hunt an animal with your bow after mentioning Allah's name, eat it. If you hunt something with your trained hound after mentioning Allah's name, eat it. If you hunt something with your untrained hound and manage to slaughter it (before it dies), eat it."
