Volume 4, Book 52, Number 106:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Abi Qatada:
(from his father) Abu Qatada went out (on a journey) with Allah's Apostle but he was left behind
with some of his companions who were in the state of Ihram. He himself was not in the state of
Ihram. They saw an opener before he could see it. When they saw the opener, they did not speak
anything till Abu Qatada saw it. So, he rode over his horse called Al-Jarada and requested them to
give him his lash, but they refused. So, he himself took it and then attacked the opener and
slaughtered it. He ate of its meat and his companions ate, too, but they regretted their eating. When
they met the Prophet (they asked him about it) and he asked, "Have you some of its meat (left) with
you?" Abu Qatada replied, "Yes, we have its leg with us." So, the Prophet took and ate it.
