Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ ذَبَحْنَا يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ الْخَيْلَ وَالْبِغَالَ وَالْحَمِيرَ فَنَهَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنِ الْبِغَالِ وَالْحَمِيرِ وَلَمْ يَنْهَنَا عَنِ الْخَيْلِ .
Translation
Musa ibn Ismaʿil narrated to us: Hammad narrated to us, from Abu al-Zubayr, from Jabir ibn ʿAbd Allah, who said: On the day of Khaybar, we slaughtered horses, mules, and donkeys. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade us from eating mules and donkeys, but did not forbid us from eating horses.
