Sahih Muslim 1196e
حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو كَامِلٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَوْهَبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، - رضى الله عنه - قَالَ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَاجًّا وَخَرَجْنَا مَعَهُ - قَالَ - فَصَرَفَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فِيهِمْ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ فَقَالَ " خُذُوا سَاحِلَ الْبَحْرِ حَتَّى تَلْقَوْنِي " . قَالَ فَأَخَذُوا سَاحِلَ الْبَحْرِ . فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفُوا قِبَلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَحْرَمُوا كُلُّهُمْ إِلاَّ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يُحْرِمْ فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ يَسِيرُونَ إِذْ رَأَوْا حُمُرَ وَحْشٍ فَحَمَلَ عَلَيْهَا أَبُو قَتَادَةَ فَعَقَرَ مِنْهَا أَتَانًا فَنَزَلُوا فَأَكَلُوا مِنْ لَحْمِهَا - قَالَ - فَقَالُوا أَكَلْنَا لَحْمًا وَنَحْنُ مُحْرِمُونَ - قَالَ - فَحَمَلُوا مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ لَحْمِ الأَتَانِ فَلَمَّا أَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا كُنَّا أَحْرَمْنَا وَكَانَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ لَمْ يُحْرِمْ فَرَأَيْنَا حُمُرَ وَحْشٍ فَحَمَلَ عَلَيْهَا أَبُو قَتَادَةَ فَعَقَرَ مِنْهَا أَتَانًا فَنَزَلْنَا فَأَكَلْنَا مِنْ لَحْمِهَا فَقُلْنَا نَأْكُلُ لَحْمَ صَيْدٍ وَنَحْنُ مُحْرِمُونَ . فَحَمَلْنَا مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ لَحْمِهَا . فَقَالَ " هَلْ مِنْكُمْ أَحَدٌ أَمَرَهُ أَوْ أَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ بِشَىْءٍ " . قَالَ قَالُوا لاَ . قَالَ " فَكُلُوا مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ لَحْمِهَا " .
Abu Kamil al-Jahdari narrated to me: Abu Awana narrated to us, from Uthman ibn Abdullah ibn Mawhab, from Abdullah ibn Abi Qatada, from his father (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) set out for Hajj, and we set out with him. He sent some of his companions ahead, including Abu Qatada, and said: ‘Take the coastal route until you meet me.’ They took the coastal route. When they turned back toward the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), they had all entered ihram except Abu Qatada, who had not. As they were traveling, they saw wild donkeys. Abu Qatada charged them and brought down a female donkey. They dismounted and ate some of its meat. They said: ‘We ate meat while in ihram.’ They carried what remained of the female donkey's meat. When they came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), they said: ‘Messenger of Allah, we had entered ihram, but Abu Qatada had not. We saw wild donkeys; Abu Qatada charged them and brought down a female. We dismounted and ate some of its meat, then wondered whether we could eat game while in ihram. We brought you what remains of its meat.’ He said: ‘Did any of you order him to hunt it or point it out to him?’ They said: ‘No.’ He said: ‘Then eat what remains of its meat.’
