they were on a march, somr of them in Ihram and some not in Ihram. He said: "I saw an onager so I mounted my horse and picked up a spear. I asked them to help me but they refused to help me. I snatched a whip from one of them and chased the onager and caught it. They ate of it but they were scared. The prophet was asked about that and he said: 'Did you pint (at it) or help him?' They said, 'No.' He said: Then eat.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2826)  

الكبرى للنسائي:٣٧٩٥أَخْبَرَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَوْهَبٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ يُحَدِّثُ

عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا فِي مَسِيرٍ لَهُمْ بَعْضُهُمْ مُحْرِمٌ وَبَعْضُهُمْ لَيْسَ بِمُحْرِمٍ قَالَ فَرَأَيْتُ حِمَارًا وَحْشِيًّا فَرَكِبْتُ فَرَسِي وَأَخَذْتُ الرُّمْحَ فَاسْتَعَنْتُهُمْ فَأَبَوْا أَنْ يُعِينُونِي فَاخْتَلَسْتُ سَوْطًا مِنْ بَعْضُهُمْ وَشَدَدْتُ عَلَى الْحِمَارِ فَأَصَبْتُهُ فَأَكَلُوا مِنْهُ فَأَشْفَقُوا قَالَ فَسُئِلَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «هَلْ أَشَرْتُمْ أَوْ أَعَنْتُمْ؟» قَالُوا لَا قَالَ «فَكُلُوهُ»
