Sahih al-Bukhari 4023 (Book 64, Hadith 239)
Prophet kept quiet. Then the man came again and said, “The donkeys have been eaten.” The Prophet (ﷺ)
kept quiet. The man came to him the third time and said, “The donkeys have been consumed.” On that
the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered an announcer to announce to the people, “Allah and His Apostle forbid you to eat
the meat of donkeys.” Then the cooking pots were upset while the meat was still boiling in them.
Sahih al-Bukhari 4023 (Book 64, Hadith 239)
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.
