Sahih al-Bukhari 5278 (Book 72, Hadith 16)
to Mecca, he and some companions of his, who were in the state of lhram. remained behind the
Prophet while Abu Qatada himself was not in the state of Ihram. Abu Qatada, seeing an onager rode
his horse and asked his companions to hand him a whip, but they refused. He then asked them to hand
him his spear, but they refused. Then he took it himself and attacked the onager and killed it. Some of
the Companions of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) ate of it, but some others refused to eat. When they met Allah’s
Apostle they asked him about that. He said, “It was meal given to you by Allah.”

Sahih al-Bukhari 5278 (Book 72, Hadith 16)
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.
