وَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "فِي رَجُلٍ لَهُ نِبَالٌ لَيْسَ فِيهَا حَدِيدٌ وَ هِيَ عِيدَانٌ كُلُّهَا فَيَرْمِي بِالْعُودِ فَيُصِيبُ وَسَطَ اَلطَّيْرِ مُعْتَرِضاً فَيَقْتُلُهُ وَ يَذْكُرُ اِسْمَ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَخْرُجْ دَمٌ وَ هِيَ نِبَالَةٌ مَعْلُومَةٌ فَيَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ إِذَا ذَكَرَ اِسْمَ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ".

Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s) said regarding a man who has arrows without iron tips, and they are entirely wooden. If he shoots with the wooden arrow and strikes the bird in the middle while it is flying and kills it, and he mentions the name of Allah (swt) upon it, even if no blood comes out, and these are known arrows, then he may eat from it if he has mentioned the name of Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic.
