Arabic hadith text

وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ، فُضَيْلُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ زِيَادٍ - حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي أَوْفَى، يَقُولُ أَصَابَتْنَا مَجَاعَةٌ لَيَالِيَ خَيْبَرَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ خَيْبَرَ وَقَعْنَا فِي الْحُمُرِ الأَهْلِيَّةِ فَانْتَحَرْنَاهَا فَلَمَّا غَلَتْ بِهَا الْقُدُورُ نَادَى مُنَادِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنِ اكْفَئُوا الْقُدُورَ وَلاَ تَأْكُلُوا مِنْ لُحُومِ الْحُمُرِ شَيْئًا - قَالَ - فَقَالَ نَاسٌ إِنَّمَا نَهَى عَنْهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لأَنَّهَا لَمْ تُخَمَّسْ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ آخَرُونَ نَهَى عَنْهَا أَلْبَتَّةَ ‏.‏

Abu Kamil Fudayl ibn Husayn narrated to us: Abd al-Wahid, meaning Ibn Ziyad, narrated to us: Sulayman al-Shaybani narrated to us, who said: I heard Abdullah ibn Abi Awfa say: We were struck by famine during the nights of Khaybar. On the day of Khaybar, we came upon domesticated donkeys and slaughtered them. When the pots were boiling with them, a caller for the Messenger of Allah announced: “Turn over the pots, and do not eat any of the donkey meat.” Some people said: The Messenger of Allah prohibited them because the one-fifth levy had not been paid. Others said: He prohibited them categorically.
