He L told some of his Companions, among whom was Abü Qatâdah, to take a different route, and he said: 'Follow the coast until you :JU meet me.' So they followed the coast, and when they went on ahead of the Messenger of Allah , they all entered Ihrâm, except Abü Qatâdah, who did not enter Ihrâm. While they were travelling, they saw some onagers, so Abü Qatâdah pursued them and killed a female onager. They dismounted and ate some of its meat, then they said: 'We have eaten meat while we are in Iirâm.' So they took what was left of the meat of the female onager, and when they reached the Messenger of Allah they said: '0 Messenger of Allah, we had entered Ihrâm, but Abü Qatâdah did not enter Ihrâm, and we saw some onagers; Abü Qatâdah pursued them and killed a female onager, and we dismounted and ate some of its meat. Then we said: "We are eating game meat while we are in Iizrâm." So we brought what was left of its meat.' He said: 'Did any of you tell him (to hunt it) or gesture to him in any way?' They said: 'No.' He said: 'Then eat what is left of its meat."
