towards my horse, saddled it and rode, but I forgot to take the lash and the spear. So I said to them

in any way to hunt it ‘ I got angry, dismounted, took it the spear and the lash), rode (the horse chased
the onager and wounded it Then I brought it when it had dyed. My companions started eating of its
(cooked) meat, but they suspected that it might be unlawful to eat of its meat while they were in a
state of Ihram Then I proceeded further and I kept one of its forelegs with me. When we met Allah’s
Apostle we asked him about that. He said, “Have you some of its meat with you?” I gave him that
foreleg and he ate the meat till he stripped the bone of its flesh although he was in a state of Ihram.
