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.
