[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.
