SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 3 > BOOK 47: GIFTS
That his father said, “One day I was sitting with some of the Prophet’s companions on the way to
Mecca. Allah’s Apostle was ahead of us. All of my companions were in the state of Ihram while I was
a non-Muhrim. They saw an onager while I was busy repairing my shoes, so they did not tell me
about it but they wished I had seen it. By chance I looked up and saw it. So, I turned to the horse,
saddled it and rode on it, forgetting to take the spear and the whip. I asked them if they could hand
over to me the whip and the spear but they said, ‘No, by Allah, we shall not help you in that in any
way.’ I became angry and got down from the horse, picked up both the things and rode the horse
again. I attacked the onager and slaughtered it, and brought it (after it had been dead). They took it
(cooked some of it) and started eating it, but they doubted whether it was allowed for them to eat it
or not, as they were in the state of Ihram. So, we proceeded and I hid with me one of its fore-legs.
When we met Allah’s Apostle and asked him about the case, he asked, ‘Do you have a portion of it
with you?’ I replied in the affirmative and gave him that fleshy fore-leg which he ate completely
while he was in the state of Ihram .

Narrated Anas:
Once Allah’s Apostle visited us in this house of ours and asked for something to drink. We milked
one of our sheep and mixed it with water from this well of ours and gave it to him. Abu Bakr was
sitting on his left side and ‘Umar in front of him and a bedouin on his right side. When Allah’s
Apostle finished, ‘Umar said to Allah’s Apostle “Here is Abu Bakr.” But Allah’s Apostle gave the re –
maining milk to the bedouin and said twice, “The (persons on the) right side! So, start from the right
side.” Anas added, “It is a Sunna (the Prophet’s traditions)” and repeated it thrice.

Narrated Urwa:
Aisha said to me, “O my nephew! We used to see the crescent, and then the crescent and then the
crescent in this way we saw three crescents in two months and no fire (for cooking) used to be made
in the houses of Allah’s Apostle. I said, “O my aunt! Then what use to sustain you?” ‘Aisha said, “The
two black things: dates and water, our neighbors from Ansar had some Manarh and they used to
present Allah’s Apostle some of their milk and he used to make us drink.”
