[Machine] He (the narrator) was with the Prophet ﷺ until they were on a road to Makkah, and he fell behind with some of his companions who were in the state of Ihram (ritual consecration) while he was not in the state of Ihram. He saw a wild donkey, so he rode on his horse and asked his companions to give him his whip, but they refused. He then asked them for his spear, but they refused. So he took his spear and struck the donkey, killing it. Some of the Prophet's companions ate from it and some refused. When they joined the Prophet ﷺ, they asked him about it, and he said, "It is only food that Allah has fed you." Then Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz narrated to us, reporting from Abu An-Nadr Al-Faqih, reporting from Abu Musa Harun ibn Musa Az-Zahid, reporting from Yahya ibn Yahya, who said, "I read this with Malik, and he mentioned it."  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ بِبَعْضُ طَرِيقِ مَكَّةَ تَخَلَّفَ مَعَ أَصْحَابٍ لَهُ مُحْرِمِينَ وَهُوَ غَيْرُ مُحْرِمٍ فَرَأَى حِمَارًا وَحْشِيًّا فَاسْتَوَى عَلَى فَرَسِهِ فَسَأَلَ أَصْحَابَهُ أَنْ يُنَاوِلُوهُ سَوْطَهُ فَأَبَوْا فَسَأَلَهُمْ رُمْحَهُ فَأَبَوْا فَأَخَذَ رُمْحَهُ فَشَدَّ عَلَى الْحِمَارِ فَقَتَلَهُ فَأَكَلَ مِنْهُ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَأَبَى بَعْضُهُمْ فَلَمَّا أَدْرَكُوا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ سَأَلُوهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا هِيَ طُعْمَةٌ أَطْعَمَكُمُوهَا اللهُ 9905 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو النَّضْرِ الْفَقِيهُ ثنا أَبُو مُوسَى هَارُونُ بْنُ مُوسَى الزَّاهِدُ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ فَذَكَرَهُ  

[Machine] From Abu Qatada about the wild donkey, a narration similar to the hadith of Abu al-Nadr, except that in the hadith of Zaid, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, "Do you have any of its meat?" They mentioned it in the authentic narration from the hadith of Malik.  

عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ فِي الْحِمَارِ الْوَحْشِيِّ مِثْلَ حَدِيثِ أَبِي النَّضْرِ إِلَّا أَنَّ فِي حَدِيثِ زَيْدٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ هَلْ مَعَكُمْ مِنْ لَحْمِهِ شَيْءٌ؟ أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ مَالِكٍ  

We went with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ till we reached al-Qaha (a place three stages away from Medina). Some of us were in the state of Ihram and some of us were not. I saw my companions looking towards something, and as I saw I found It to be a wild ass. I saddled my horse and took up my spear and then mounted upon (the horse) and my whip, fell down. I said to my companions as they were in the state of Ihram to pick up the whip for me but they said: By Allah, we cannot help you in any (such) thing (i. e. hunting). So i dismounted (the horse) and picked it (whip) up and mounted again and caught the wild ass after chasing it. It was behind a hillock and I attacked it with my spear and killed it. Then I brought it to my companions. Some of them said: Eat it, while others said: Do not eat it. The Apostle of Allah ﷺ was in front of us. I moved my horse and came to him (and asked him), whereupon he said: It is permissible, so eat it. (Using translation from Muslim 1196a)   

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ يَقُولُ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِالْقَاحَةِ وَمِنَّا الْمُحْرِمُ وَغَيْرُ الْمُحْرِمِ إِذْ بَصُرْتُ بِأَصْحَابِي يَتَرَاءَوْنَ شَيْئًا فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِحِمَارِ وَحْشٍ فَأَسْرَجْتُ فَرَسِي وَرَكِبْتُ فَأَخَذْتُ رُمْحِي فَسَقَطَتْ سَوْطِي فَقُلْتُ لِأَصْحَابِي نَاوِلُونِي وَكَانُوا مُحْرِمِينَ فَقَالُوا لَا وَاللهِ لَا نُعِينُكَ عَلَيْهِ بِشَيْءٍ فَتَنَاوَلْتُ سَوْطِي ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ الْحِمَارَ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ وَهُوَ وَرَاءَ أَكَمَةٍ فَطَعَنْتُهُ بِرُمْحِي فَعَقَرْتُهُ فَأَتَيْتُ بِهِ أَصْحَابِي فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ كُلُوهُ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لَا تَأْكُلُوهُ قَالَ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَامَنَا فَحَرَّكْتُ فَرَسِي فَأَدْرَكْتُهُ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ هُوَ حَلَالٌ فَكُلُوهُ  

My father set out (for Mecca) in the year of Al-Hudaibiya, and his companions assumed Ihram, but he did not. At that time the Prophet ﷺ was informed that an enemy wanted to attack him, so the Prophet ﷺ proceeded onwards. While my father was among his companions, some of them laughed among themselves. (My father said), "I looked up and saw an onager. I attacked, stabbed and caught it. I then sought my companions' help but they refused to help me. (Later) we all ate its meat. We were afraid that we might be left behind (separated) from the Prophet ﷺ so I went in search of the Prophet ﷺ and made my horse to run at a galloping speed at times and let it go slow at an ordinary speed at other times till I met a man from the tribe of Bani Ghifar at midnight. I asked him, "Where did you leave the Prophet ﷺ ?" He replied, "I left him at Ta'hun and he had the intention of having the midday rest at As-Suqya. I followed the trace and joined the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Your people (companions) send you their compliments, and (ask for) Allah's Blessings upon you. They are afraid lest they may be left behind; so please wait for them.' I added, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I hunted an onager and some of its meat is with me. The Prophet ﷺ told the people to eat it though all of them were in the state of Ihram." (Using translation from Bukhārī 1821)   

أَنَّهُ انْطَلَقَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَامَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ فَأَحْرَمَ أَصْحَابِي وَلَمْ أُحْرِمْ فَانْطَلَقَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَكُنْتُ مَعَ أَصْحَابِي فَجَعَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ يَضْحَكُ إِلَى بَعْضٍ فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا حِمَارُ وَحْشٍ فَحَمَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَطَعَنْتُهُ فَأَثْبَتُّهُ فَاسْتَعَنْتُ بِهِمْ فَأَبَوْا أَنْ يُعِينُونِي فَأَكَلْنَا مِنْهُ وَخَشِينَا أَنْ نُقْتَطَعَ يَعْنِي فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَرْفَعُ فَرَسِي فَأَطْلُبُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَلَقِيتُ رَجُلًا مِنْ جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ مِنْ غِفَارٍ فَقُلْتُ أَيْنَ تَرَكْتَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ؟ قَالَ بِالسُّقْيَا يَعْنِي فَلَحِقْتُ بِهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَصْحَابَكَ يَقْرَءُونَ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامَ وَرَحْمَةَ اللهِ وَقَدْ خَشُوا أَنْ يُقْتَطَعُوا دُونَكَ فَانْتَظِرْهُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي أَصَبْتُ حِمَارَ وَحْشٍ وَمَعِي مِنْهُ فَاضِلَةٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِلْقَوْمِ كُلُوا وَهُمْ مُحْرِمُونَ  

That his father said, "One day I was sitting with some of the Prophet's companions on the way to Mecca. Messenger of Allah ﷺ was ahead of us. All of my companions were in the state of Ihram while I was a non-Muhrim. They saw an onager while I was busy repairing my shoes, so they did not tell me about it but they wished I had seen it. By chance I looked up and saw it. So, I turned to the horse, saddled it and rode on it, forgetting to take the spear and the whip. I asked them if they could hand over to me the whip and the spear but they said, 'No, by Allah, we shall not help you in that in any way.' I became angry and got down from the horse, picked up both the things and rode the horse again. I attacked the onager and slaughtered it, and brought it (after it had been dead). They took it (cooked some of it) and started eating it, but they doubted whether it was allowed for them to eat it or not, as they were in the state of Ihram. So, we proceeded and I hid with me one of its fore-legs. When we met Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked him about the case, he asked, 'Do you have a portion of it with you?' I replied in the affirmative and gave him that fleshy foreleg which he ate completely while he was in the state of Ihram . (Using translation from Bukhārī 2570)   

كُنْتُ يَوْمًا جَالِسًا مَعَ رَهْطٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي مَنْزِلٍ فِي طَرِيقِ مَكَّةَ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نَازِلٌ أَمَامَنَا وَالْقَوْمُ مُحْرِمُونَ وَأَنَا غَيْرُ مُحْرِمٍ قَالَ فَأَبْصَرَ الْقَوْمُ حِمَارًا وَحْشِيًّا وَأَنَا مَشْغُولٌ أَخْصِفُ نَعْلِي فَلَمْ يُؤْذِنُونِي بِهِ فَالْتَفَتُّ فَأَبْصَرْتُهُ فَقُمْتُ إِلَى فَرَسِي فَأَسْرَجْتُهُ ثُمَّ رَكِبْتُهُ وَنَسِيتُ السَّوْطَ وَالرُّمْحَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ نَاوِلُونِي السَّوْطَ وَالرُّمْحَ فَقَالُوا لَا نُعِينُكَ عَلَيْهِ بِشَيْءٍ فَنَزَلْتُ فَأَخَذْتُهُمَا وَرَكِبْتُ فَشَدَدْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَتَلْتُهُ ثُمَّ جِئْتُ بِهِ أَجُرُّهُ قَدْ مَاتَ فَوَقَعُوا فِيهِ يَأْكُلُونَهُ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ شَكُّوا فِي أَكْلِهِمْ إِيَّاهُ وَهُمْ حُرُمٌ فَرُحْنَا وَخَبَّأْتُ الْعَضُدَ مَعِي فَأَدْرَكَنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَأَلْنَاهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ مَعَكُمْ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ؟ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَنَاوَلْتُهُ الْعَضُدَ فَأَكَلَهَا وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ حَتَّى تَعَرَّقَهَا  

[Machine] And he said to those who did not eat, "You have made a mistake. Indeed, we have eaten with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while we were in a state of ihram."  

وَقَالَ لِلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَأْكُلُوا أَخْطَأْتُمْ فَإِنَّا قَدْ أَكَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ حُرُمٌ  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ set out intending to go to Mecca, and when he was in a valley called Rawha, the people found a wild donkey tied up. They informed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it, and he said, "Leave it until its owner comes." Then Al-Bahziyy came and his donkey was with him. He said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is the matter with this donkey?" So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered Abu Bakr and he divided it among the companions, and they were in a state of Ihram (ritual consecration). The Prophet ﷺ then continued until they reached Al-Abwa, where they found a female deer standing under a tree, and there was an arrow in it. The Prophet ﷺ ordered a man to stay with it until the people passed by it.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ خَرَجَ وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ مَكَّةَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ فِي بَعْضِ وَادِي الرَّوْحَاءِ وَجَدَ النَّاسُ حِمَارَ وَحْشٍ عَقِيرًا فَذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ ذَرُوهُ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ صَاحِبُهُ فَأَتَى الْبَهْزِيُّ وَكَانَ صَاحِبَهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ شَأْنَكُمْ بِهَذَا الْحِمَارِ فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ؓ فَقَسَمَهُ بَيْنَ الرِّفَاقِ وَهُمْ مُحْرِمُونَ قَالَ ثُمَّ سِرْنَا حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِالْأَبْوَاءِ فَإِذَا ظَبْيٌ حَاقِفٌ فِي ظِلِّ شَجَرَةٍ وَفِيهِ سَهْمٌ فَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَجُلًا يُقِيمُ عِنْدَهُ حَتَّى يُجِيزَ النَّاسَ عَنْهُ  

[Machine] To catch him.  

أَنْ تَصْطَادَهُ  

[Machine] Umar used to eat it. I said, "I am only asking you about yourself. Do you eat it?" He said, "Umar used to eat it." I said, "Umar was better than me."  

كَانَ عُمَرُ ؓ يَأْكُلُهُ قُلْتُ إِنَّمَا أَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ نَفْسِكَ أَتَأْكُلُهُ؟ قَالَ كَانَ عُمَرُ ؓ يَأْكُلُهُ قُلْتُ إِنَّمَا أَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ نَفْسِكَ أَتَأْكُلُهُ؟ قَالَ كَانَ عُمَرُ ؓ خَيْرًا مِنِّي  

[Machine] He came across a group who were prohibited from wearing garments made of sheep's wool, so they asked him about eating game meat. He found people who permitted it, so he issued a ruling allowing them to eat it. Then, I approached Umar ibn al-Khattab and asked him about that. He said, "With what did you issue the ruling?" I said, "I issued the ruling based on their eating of it." Umar said, "If you had issued the ruling without that, I would have punished you." Malik narrated this hadith from Zaid ibn Aslam from Ata' ibn Yasar, who reported that Ka'b al-Ahbar came from Sham with a group who were prohibited, until they found game meat. Ka'b issued a ruling allowing them to eat it. When they came to Umar ibn al-Khattab, they mentioned this to him, and he said, "Who issued this ruling to you?" They said, "Ka'b." Umar said, "I have already instructed him regarding all of you until you return."  

أَنَّهُ مَرَّ بِهِ قَوْمٌ مُحْرِمُونَ بِالرَّبَذَةِ فَاسْتَفْتَوْهُ فِي لَحْمِ صَيْدٍ وَجَدَهُ أُنَاسٌ أَحِلَّةٌ أَيَأْكُلُونَهُ؟ فَأَفْتَاهُمْ بِأَكْلِهِ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَدِمْتُ عَلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ بِمَ أَفْتَيْتَهُمْ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَفْتَيْتُهُمْ بِأَكْلِهِ قَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ لَوْ أَفْتَيْتَهُمْ بِغَيْرِ ذَلِكَ لَأَوْجَعْتُكَ 9914 وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ ثنا مَالِكٌ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ أَنَّ كَعْبَ الْأَحْبَارِ أَقْبَلَ مِنَ الشَّامِ فِي رَكْبٍ مُحْرِمِينَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا بِبَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ وَجَدُوا لَحْمَ صَيْدٍ فَأَفْتَاهُمْ كَعْبٌ بِأَكْلِهِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمُوا عَلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ ذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَفْتَاكُمْ بِهَذَا؟ قَالُوا كَعْبٌ قَالَ فَإِنِّي قَدْ أَمَّرْتُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ حَتَّى تَرْجِعُوا  

[Machine] That Zubair ibn Al-Awwam used to provide provisions for the soldiers in ihram.  

أَنَّ الزُّبَيْرَ بْنَ الْعَوَّامِّ ؓ كَانَ يَتَزَوَّدُ صَفِيفَ الظِّبَاءِ فِي الْإِحْرَامِ  

[Machine] "We used to eat the meat of the hunted animals, provide it, and eat it while being in the company of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and likewise."  

كُنَّا نَأْكُلُ لَحْمَ الصَّيْدِ وَنَتَزَوَّدُهُ وَنَأْكُلُهُ وَنَحْنُ مُحْرِمُونَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَكَذَلِكَ
