Sahih al-Bukhari 3026 (Book 57, Hadith 63)
of) Khaibar, we slaughtered the donkeys and when the pots got boiling (with their meat). Allah’s
Apostle made an announcement that all the pots should be upset and that nobody should eat anything
of the meat of the donkeys. We thought that the Prophet (ﷺ) prohibited that because the Khumus had not
been taken out of the booty (i.e. donkeys); other people said, “He prohibited eating them for ever.”
The sub-narrator added, “I asked Sa`id bin Jubair who said, ‘He has made the eating of donkeys’ meat
illegal for ever.”)
Sahih al-Bukhari 3026 (Book 57, Hadith 63)
The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
