ahmad:11778Abū Nuʿaym > Yūnus > Abū al-Waddāk Jabr b. Nawf > Abū Saʿīd

[Machine] We captured female slaves on the day of Hunayn and we used to separate from them, seeking to redeem them from their families. So some of us said to each other, "Are you doing this while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is among you? Go to him and ask him." So we went to him or mentioned it to him, and he said, "Not all water results in offspring when Allah decrees a matter." And we passed by some pots that were boiling, and he asked us, "What meat is this?" We said, "Meat from donkeys." He said, "Is it domesticated or wild?" We said, "Domesticated." He said, "Then eat it." So we ate it, though we were hungry. And he used to command us to water the animals.
