Abu Qatada (Allaah be pleased with him) reported that while he was with the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) on one of the highways of Mecca, he lagged behind him (the Prophet) along with companions who were in the state of Ihram, whereas he was himself not Muhrim. He saw a wild ass. As he was mounting his horse he asked his companions to pick up for him his whip (which had dropped) but they refused to do so. He asked them to hand him over the spear, but they refused. He then himself took hold of it and chased the wild ass and killed it. Some of the Companions of the Prophet of Allaah (way sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) ate (its meat), but some of them refused to do so. They overtook the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) and asked him about it, and he said: It is a food which Allaah provided you (so eat it). |
