English

[5010] 26 – (1937) It was narrated that Ash-ShaibânI said: "I asked 'Abdullâh bin Abi Awfâ about the meat of domesticated donkeys. He said: 'We were stricken with hunger on the Day of Khaibar, when we were with the Messenger of Allah and the people had captured some donkeys outside Al-Madinah. So we slaughtered them, and the cooking pots were boiling, when the caller of the Messenger of Allah cried out that the cooking pots should be overturned and nothing of the donkey meat should be eaten.' I said: "What kind of prohibition was it?" He said: 'We talked about that amongst ourselves, did he () prohibit it forever or did he prohibit it because it had not been distributed as it should have been (i.e., with the Khumus being taken out before the booty was divided)?"
