[Machine] He gave the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a wild donkey, which was in Abuwa or Waddan. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned it to him. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw what was on his face, he said, "We only returned it to you because I am prohibited."  

أَنَّهُ أَهْدَى لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِمَارًا وَحْشِيًّا وَهُوَ بِالْأَبْوَاءِ أَوْ بِوَدَّانَ فَرَدَّهُ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا فِي وَجْهِي قَالَ إِنَّا لَمْ نَرُدَّهُ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا أَنَا حُرُمٌ  

That he heard As-Sa'b bin Jath-thama Al-Laithi, who was one of the companions of the Prophet, saying that he gave the meat of an onager to Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was at a place called Al-Abwa' or Waddan, and was in a state of Ihram. The Prophet ﷺ did not accept it. When the Prophet ﷺ saw the signs of sorrow on As-Sa'b's face because of not accepting his present, he said (to him), "We are not returning your present, but we are in the state of Ihram." (See Hadith No. 747) (Using translation from Bukhārī 2596)   

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ الصَّعْبَ بْنَ جَثَّامَةَ اللَّيْثِيَّ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يُخْبِرُ أَنَّهُ أَهْدَى لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِمَارَ وَحْشٍ بِالْأَبْوَاءِ أَوْ بِوَدَّانَ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مُحْرِمٌ فَرَدَّهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ الصَّعْبُ فَلَمَّا عَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ رَدَّهُ هَدِيَّتِي فِي وَجْهِي قَالَ لَيْسَ بِنَا رَدٌّ عَلَيْكَ وَلَكِنَّا حُرُمٌ  

[Machine] He informed him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by him in Al-Abwaa or Waddaan, and he gifted him a wild donkey. He returned it to him, and when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw dislike on his face, he said, "It is not a refusal from us to you, but I am in a state of ihram."  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَرَّ بِهِ بِالْأَبْوَاءِ أَوْ بِوَدَّانَ فَأَهْدَى لَهُ حِمَارًا وَحْشِيًّا فَرَدَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي وَجْهِهِ الْكَرَاهِيَةَ قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِنَا رَدٌّ عَلَيْكَ وَلَكِنِّي مُحْرِمٌ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah passed by me while I was in Abuwa or Budhan, so I gifted him a wild donkey. He returned it to me when he saw dislike in my face and said, "Indeed, we do not return anything to you, but we are haram (forbidden)." I found this in my book, and it is a narration from Sufyan from Sufyan. Then he became confused about it later. He told us Abu al-Husayn ibn al-Fadl al-Qattan that Abdullah ibn Ja'far informed us that Ya'qub ibn Sufyan said, "Abu Bakr al-Humaydi used to say, 'I gifted the Messenger of Allah a donkey's meat, and Sufyan might have said that it dripped blood, or he might not have said that.' Sufyan used to say in his previous narrations, 'a wild donkey's meat,' then it became 'meat' until he died."  

مَرَّ بِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا بِالْأَبْوَاءِ أَوْ بِوَدَّانَ فَأَهْدَيْتُ لَهُ حِمَارَ وَحْشٍ فَرَدَّهُ عَلَيَّ فَلَمَّا رَأَى فِي وَجْهِي الْكَرَاهِيَةَ قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِنَا رَدٌّ عَلَيْكَ وَلَكِنَّا حُرُمٌ كَذَا وَجَدْتُهُ فِي كِتَابِي وَهُوَ سَمَاعُ الْحُمَيْدِيِّ مِنْ سُفْيَانَ فِيمَا خَلَا ثُمَّ اضْطَرَبَ فِيهِ بَعْدُ 9930 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ أنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْحُمَيْدِيُّ وَكَانَ سُفْيَانُ يَقُولُ فِي الْحَدِيثِ أَهْدَيْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَحْمَ حِمَارِ وَحْشٍ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ سُفْيَانُ يَقْطُرُ دَمًا وَرُبَّمَا لَمْ يَقُلْ وَكَانَ سُفْيَانُ فِيمَا خَلَا رُبَّمَا قَالَ حِمَارَ وَحْشٍ ثُمَّ صَارَ إِلَى لَحْمٍ حَتَّى مَاتَ  

[Machine] The difficult Ibn Jathama gave the Prophet ﷺ a wild donkey as a gift, while it is prohibited to accept. The Prophet ﷺ returned it and said, "If it were not for the fact that we are prohibited, we would have accepted it from you."  

أَهْدَى الصَّعْبُ بْنُ جَثَّامَةَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ حِمَارَ وَحْشٍ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ فَرَدَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَقَالَ لَوْلَا أَنَّا مُحْرِمُونَ لَقَبِلْنَاهُ مِنْكَ  

[Machine] A wild donkey foal was gifted to the Prophet ﷺ, but he returned it as it was forbidden.  

أُهْدِيَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ شِقُّ حِمَارِ وَحْشٍ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ فَرَدَّهُ  

That As-Sab bin Jaththamah gave the Prophet some onager (meat) when he was in Ihram and he returned it to him. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2823)   

أَنَّ الصَّعْبَ بْنَ جَثَّامَةَ أَهْدَى إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِمَارَ وَحْشٍ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ فَرَدَّهُ  

[Machine] That the son of Jaththamah, Sa'b, offered a gift to the Prophet ﷺ while he was in Qudayd, and it was a forbidden 'ajuzah that was unable to bear a load. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned it dripping with blood.  

أَنَّ الصَّعْبَ بْنَ جَثَّامَةَ أَهْدَى إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ بِقُدَيْدٍ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ عَجُزَ حِمَارٍ فَرَدَّهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْطُرُ دَمًا  

[Machine] Sa'ab ibn Jaththama presented a wild donkey to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while it was in Qudayd, so he returned it.  

أَهْدَى الصَّعْبُ بْنُ جَثَّامَةَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ رِجْلَ حِمَارِ وَحْشٍ وَهُوَ بِقُدَيْدٍ فَرَدَّهُ  

[Machine] Al-Shafi'i said, "If Saba' bin Jaththamah offered the Prophet ﷺ a live donkey as a gift, it is not permissible for someone in a state of Ihram to slaughter a live wild donkey. However, if he offered him its meat, it is possible that he knew it was hunted for him, so he returned it to him as indicated in the narration of Jabir bin Abdullah. Al-Shafi'i also mentioned the narration of Malik that the Prophet ﷺ was offered a donkey by Saba', which is more reliable than the narration of someone who said he offered him donkey meat. Allah knows best." The Sheikh said, "It has been reported in the narration of Saba' that the Prophet ﷺ ate from it."  

قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ فَإِنْ كَانَ الصَّعْبُ بْنُ جَثَّامَةَ أَهْدَى إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ الْحِمَارَ حَيًّا فَلَيْسَ لِمُحْرِمٍ ذَبْحُ حِمَارِ وَحْشٍ حَيٍّ وَإِنْ كَانَ أَهْدَى لَهُ لَحْمًا فَقَدْ يُحْتَمَلُ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَلِمَ أَنَّهُ صِيدَ لَهُ فَرَدَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَإِيضَاحُهُ فِي حَدِيثِ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ وَحَدِيثُ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ الصَّعْبَ أَهْدِيَ للنَّبِيِّ ﷺ حِمَارًا أَثْبَتُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ مَنْ حَدَّثَ أَنَّهُ أَهْدَى لَهُ مِنْ لَحْمِ حِمَارٍ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ فِي حَدِيثِ الصَّعْبِ أَنَّهُ أَكَلَ مِنْهُ  

[Machine] So it was as if he (or it) restored life to the dead, and it was said: "He brought back the flesh." And Allah knows best.  

فَكَأَنَّهُ رَدَّ الْحِيَّ وَقِيلَ اللَّحْمَ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ  

[Machine] About a hunted meat that was given to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while it was forbidden, he said, "He was given a piece of meat from a hunted animal and he rejected it, saying, 'We do not eat it. We consider it forbidden.'" In the narration of Yahya, it is mentioned that Zaid bin Arqam came and Ibn Abbas asked him about the hunted meat. Zaid said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was given hunted meat, but he rejected it."  

عَنْ لَحْمِ صَيْدٍ أُهْدِيَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ حَرَامٌ؟ قَالَ فَقَالَ أُهْدِيَ لَهُ عُضْوٌ مِنْ لَحْمِ صَيْدٍ فَرَدَّهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّا لَا نَأْكُلُهُ إِنَّا حُرُمٌ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ يَحْيَى وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي عَاصِمٍ أَنَّ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ قَدِمَ فَأَتَاهُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ فَاسْتَفْتَاهُ فِي لَحْمِ الصَّيْدِ فَقَالَ أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِلَحْمِ صَيْدٍ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ فَرَدَّهُ  

[Machine] The passage is about the caliph Uthman's provision of food for him, made from rocks, wild animals' meats, and game. Ali bin Abi Talib was sent to Uthman, and the messenger went to him while he was grinding for his livestock. They told him to stop, but he told them to feed him a group. Then Ali said, "I witness that whoever was here is the bravest. Do you know that the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , once gave him a wild donkey, which is forbidden, but he refused to eat it?" They said, "Yes." The interpretation of these two narrations is what Al-Shafi'i mentioned in his interpretation of the story of Sa'd bin Jathama, that he was given the meat of a donkey. As for Ali and Ibn Abbas, they went to prohibit it for him completely. Omar, Uthman, Talha, Zubair, and others disagreed with them. Along with them is the narration of Abu Qatada and Jabir, and Allah knows best.  

خَلِيفَةَ عُثْمَانَ ؓ عَلَى الطَّائِفِ فَصَنَعَ لِعُثْمَانَ ؓ طَعَامًا وَصَنَعَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْحَجَلِ وَالْيَعَاقِيبِ وَلُحُومِ الْوَحْشِ قَالَ فَبَعَثَ إِلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ فَجَاءَهُ الرَّسُولُ وَهُوَ يَخْبِطُ لِأَبَاعِرَ لَهُ فَجَاءَهُ وَهُوَ يَنْقُضُ الْخَبْطَ مِنْ يَدِهِ فَقَالُوا لَهُ كُلْ فَقَالَ أَطْعِمُوهُ قَوْمًا حَلَالًا فَإِنَّا قَوْمٌ حُرُمٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ أَنْشُدُ اللهَ مَنْ كَانَ هَا هُنَا مِنْ أَشْجَعَ أَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَهْدَى إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ حِمَارَ وَحْشٍ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَأْكُلَهُ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ وَتَأْوِيلُ هَذَيْنِ الْمُسْنَدَيْنِ مَا ذَكَرَهُ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ فِي تَأْوِيلِ حَدِيثِ مَنْ رَوَى فِي قِصَّةِ الصَّعْبِ بْنِ جَثَّامَةَ أَنَّهُ أَهْدَى إِلَيْهِ مِنْ لَحْمِ حِمَارٍ وَأَمَّا عَلِيٌّ وَابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ فَإِنَّهُمَا ذَهَبَا إِلَى تَحْرِيمِ أَكْلِهِ عَلَى الْمُحْرِمِ مُطْلَقًا وَقَدْ خَالَفَهُمَا عُمَرُ وَعُثْمَانُ وَطَلْحَةُ وَالزُّبَيْرُ ؓ وَغَيْرُهُمْ وَمَعَهُمْ حَدِيثُ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ وَجَابِرٍ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ  

[Machine] "Aisha, the wife of the Prophet (PBUH), said to him, 'O nephew of mine, it is only a ten-day period. So if you feel any discomfort within yourself, leave it, I mean eating game meat.'"  

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ لَهُ يَا ابْنَ أُخْتِي إِنَّمَا هِيَ عَشْرُ لَيَالٍ فَإِنْ يَخْتَلِجْ فِي نَفْسِكَ شَيْءٌ فَدَعْهُ يَعْنِي أَكْلَ لَحْمِ الصَّيْدِ  

[Machine] The companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had differences regarding this matter. Some of them disliked it, while others did not see any harm in it.  

اخْتَلَفَ فِيهَا أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَكَرِهَه بَعْضُهُمْ وَلَمْ يَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَأْسًا وَلَيْسَ بِهِ بَأْسٌ
