Sahih al-Bukhari 5193 (Book 70, Hadith 35)
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was stationing ahead of us and all the people were assuming Ihram while I was not.
My companion, saw an onager while I was busy Mending my shoes. They did not Inform me of the
onager but they wished that I would see it Suddenly I looked and saw the onager Then I headed
towards my horse, saddled it and rode, but I forgot to take the lash and the spear. So I said to them my
companions), “Give me the lash and the spear.” But they said, “No, by Allah we will not help you in
any way to hunt it ‘ I got angry, dismounted, took it the spear and the lash), rode (the horse chased the
onager and wounded it Then I brought it when it had dyed. My companions started eating of its
(cooked) meat, but they suspected that it might be unlawful to eat of its meat while they were in a
state of Ihram Then I proceeded further and I kept one of its forelegs with me. When we met Allah’s
Apostle we asked him about that. He said, “Have you some of its meat with you?” I gave him that
foreleg and he ate the meat till he stripped the bone of its flesh although he was in a state of Ihram.
“ مَعَكُمْ مِنْهُ شَىْءٌ ”. فَنَاوَلْتُهُ الْعَضُدَ فَأَكَلَهَا حَتَّى تَعَرَّقَهَا، وَهْوَ مُحْرِمٌ. قَالَ ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ وَحَدَّثَنِي زَيْدُ بْنُ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ مِثْلَهُ.
