\nNarrated `Abdullah bin Abu Qatada:\n\n
That his father said \"We proceeded with the Prophet in the year of Al-Hudaibiya and his companions \nassumed Ihram but I did not. We were informed that some enemies were at Ghaiqa and so we went on \ntowards them. My companions saw an onager and some of them started laughing among themselves. I \nlooked and saw it. I chased it with my horse and stabbed and caught it. I wanted some help from my \ncompanions but they refused. (I slaughtered it all alone). We all ate from it (i.e. its meat). Then I \nfollowed Allah's Apostle lest we should be left behind. At times I urged my horse to run at a galloping \nspeed and at other times at an ordinary slow speed. On the way I met a man from the tribe of Bani \nGhifar at midnight. I asked him where he had left Allah's Apostle . The man replied that he had left \nthe Prophet at a place called Ta'hun and he had the intention of having the midday rest at As-Suqya. \nSo, I followed Allah's Apostle till I reached him and said, \"O Allah's Apostle! I have been sent by my \ncompanions who send you their greetings and compliments and ask for Allah's Mercy and Blessings \nupon you. They were afraid lest the enemy might intervene between you and them; so please wait for \nthem.\" So he did. Then I said, \"O Allah's Apostle! We have hunted an onager and have some of it (i.e. \nits meat) left over.\" Allah's Apostle told his companions to eat the meat although all of them were in a \nstate of Ihram.\"","english_grade":"Sahih","last_updated":null,"xrefs":""}
