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?'

عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا فِي مَسِيرٍ لَهُمْ بَعْضُهُمْ مُحْرِمٌ وَبَعْضُهُمْ لَيْسَ بِمُحْرِمٍ قَالَ فَرَأَيْتُ حِمَارَ وَحْشٍ فَرَكِبْتُ فَرَسِي وَأَخَذْتُ الرُّمْحَ فَاسْتَعَنْتُهُمْ فَأَبَوْا أَنْ يُعِينُونِي فَاخْتَلَسْتُ سَوْطًا مِنْ بَعْضِهِمْ فَشَدَدْتُ عَلَى الْحِمَارِ فَأَصَبْتُهُ فَأَكَلُوا مِنْهُ فَأَشْفَقُوا قَالَ فَسُئِلَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ هَلْ أَشَرْتُمْ أَوْ أَعَنْتُمْ قَالُوا لاَ قَالَ فَكُلُوا

ahmad:22574Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar > Shuʿbah > ʿUthmān b. ʿAbdullāh b. Mawhab > ʿAbdullāh b. Abū Qatādah

[Machine] From his father Abu Qatadah, he said: "We were on a journey and I saw a wild donkey, so I rode a horse and took a spear and killed it." He (Abu Qatadah) said: "Among us was someone in the state of Ihram." He said: "So they ate from it." He said: "They felt uneasy." He said: "So I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ or it was said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked: Did you signal or gesture or make any signs to them?" He (Abu Qatadah) said: "I do not know." He (the Prophet) said: "Did you signal or gesture to them or make any signs?" Then they said: "No." So he ordered them to eat from it.
