1 The Virtues of Surah Al-Ma'idah; When It was Revealed Surah to ...

Ibn Jarir recorded that Adi bin Hatim said that;
he asked the Messenger of Allah about the game
that the falcon hunts and the Messenger said,
Whatever it catches for you, eat from it.
37
مَا أَمْسَكَ‏ عَلَيْكَ‏ فَكُل
These carnivores that are trained to catch game are
called Jawarih in Arabic, a word that is derived from
Jarh, meaning, what one earns. The Arabs would say,
"So-and-so has Jaraha something good for his family,''
meaning, he has earned them something good. The
Arabs would say, "So-and-so does not have a Jarih for
him,'' meaning, a caretaker.
Allah also said, وَيَعْلَمُ‏ مَا جَرَحْتُم بِالن َّهَارِ‏ (And He knows what
you have done during the day...), (6:60), meaning, the
good or evil you have earned or committed.
Allah's statement, مُكَل ِّبِينَ‏ (trained as hounds),
those Jawarih that have been trained to hunt as
hounds with their claws or talons. Therefore, if
the game is killed by the weight of its blow, not
with its claws, then we are not allowed to eat
from the game.
Allah said,
تُعَل ِّمُونَهُن َّ مِم َّا عَل َّمَكُمُ‏ اللّهُ‏
training them in the manner as directed to you by Allah,
as when the beast is sent, it goes after the game,
and when it catches it, it keeps it until its owner
arrives and does not catch it to eat it itself.
This is why Allah said here,
...
...
فَكُلُواْ‏ مِم َّا أَمْسَكْنَ‏ عَلَيْكُمْ‏ وَاذْآُرُواْ‏ اسْمَ‏ اللّهِ‏ عَلَيْهِ‏
so eat of what they catch for you, but pronounce the
Name of Allah over it,
