We provoked a rabbit at Marr Az-Zahran till it started jumping. My companions chased it till they got tired. But I alone ran after it and caught it and brought it to Abu Talha. He sent both its legs to the Prophet who accepted them.

أَنْفَجْنَا أَرْنَبًا بِمَرِّ الظَّهْرَانِ فَسَعَوْا عَلَيْهَا حَتَّى لَغِبُوا فَسَعَيْتُ عَلَيْهَا حَتَّى أَخَذْتُهَا فَجِئْتُ بِهَا إِلَى أَبِي طَلْحَةَ فَبَعَثَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِوَرِكِهَا وَفَخِذَيْهَا فَقَبِلَهُ
