\nNarrated Abu Qatada:\n\n
Once, while I was sitting with the companions of the Prophet at a station on the road to Mecca and \nAllah's Apostle was stationing ahead of us and all the people were assuming Ihram while I was not. \nMy companion, saw an onager while I was busy Mending my shoes. They did not Inform me of the \nonager but they wished that I would see it Suddenly I looked and saw the onager Then I headed \ntowards my horse, saddled it and rode, but I forgot to take the lash and the spear. So I said to them my \ncompanions), \"Give me the lash and the spear.\" But they said, \"No, by Allah we will not help you in \nany way to hunt it ' I got angry, dismounted, took it the spear and the lash), rode (the horse chased the \nonager and wounded it Then I brought it when it had dyed. My companions started eating of its \n(cooked) meat, but they suspected that it might be unlawful to eat of its meat while they were in a \nstate of Ihram Then I proceeded further and I kept one of its forelegs with me. When we met Allah's \nApostle we asked him about that. He said, \"Have you some of its meat with you?\" I gave him that \nforeleg and he ate the meat till he stripped the bone of its flesh although he was in a state of Ihram.","english_grade":"Sahih","last_updated":null,"xrefs":""}
