[2854] 59 – ( … ) 'Abdullâh bin AbI Qatâdah said: "My father set out with the Messenger of Allah ç during the year of A]- udaybiyah, and his Companions entered Ihrâm but he did not. The Messenger of Allah was told that there was an enemy in Ghaiqah, so the Messenger of Allah set out." He said: "While I was with his Companions, one of them smiled at me. I looked and there I saw an onager, so I attacked it, stabbed it and held on to it. I asked them to help me but they refused to do so. We ate some of its meat, and we were afraid that we would be separated (from the people), so I set out to catch up with the Messenger of Allah . I made my horse go fast sometimes and slow sometimes, then I met a man from Banü Ghifâr in the middle of the night and I said: 'Where did you meet the Messenger of Allah ii?' He said: 'I left him in Ta'hin, but he was intending to stop at As-Suqyâ.' So I caught up with him and I said: '0 Messenger of Allah, your Companions send greetings of Salâm and the mercy of Allah to you, and they are afraid lest they get separated from you, so wait for them.' He waited for them, and I said: '0 Messenger of 3u Allah, I caught some game and I have some of it left over.' The .((I)~)) :r Messenger of Allah said to the people: 'Eat,' and they were in Ihrâm."
