Sahih al-Bukhari 5280 (Book 72, Hadith 18)
and his companions) were in the state of Ihram, while I was not in that state. I was riding my horse
and I used to be fond of ascending mountains. So while I was doing so I noticed that the people were
looking at something. I went to see what it was, and behold it was an onager. I asked my companions,
“What is that?” They said, “We do not know.” I said, “It is an onager.’ They said, “It is what you have
seen.” I had left my whip, so I said to them, “Hand to me my whip.” They said, “We will not help you
in that (in hunting the onager).” I got down, took my whip and chased the animal (on my horse) and
did not stop till I killed it. I went to them and said, “Come on, carry it!” But they said, “We will not
even touch it.” At last I alone carried it and brought it to them. Some of them ate of it and some
refused to eat of it. I said (to them), “I will ask the Prophet (ﷺ) about it (on your behalf).” When I met the
Prophet, I told him the whole story. He said to me, “Has anything of it been left with you?” I said,
“Yes.” He said, “Eat, for it is a meal Allah has offered to you.”
