Narrated Abu Qatada:
I was with the Prophet (on a journey) between Mecca and Medina, and all of them, (i.e. the Proph –
et and his companions) were in the state of Ihram, while I was not in that state. I was riding my
horse and I used to be fond of ascending mountains. So while I was doing so I noticed that the people
were looking at something. I went to see what it was, and behold it was an onager. I asked my com –
panions, “What is that?” They said, “We do not know.” I said, “It is an onager.’ They said, “It is what
you have seen.” I had left my whip, so I said to them, “Hand to me my whip.” They said, “We will not
help you in that (in hunting the onager).” I got down, took my whip and chased the animal (on my
horse) and did not stop till I killed it. I went to them and said, “Come on, carry it!” But they said, “We
will not even touch it.” At last I alone carried it and brought it to them. Some of them ate of it and
some refused to eat of it. I said (to them), “I will ask the Prophet about it (on your behalf).” When I
met the Prophet, I told him the whole story. He said to me, “Has anything of it been left with you?” I
said, “Yes.” He said, “Eat, for it is a meal Allah has offered to you.”

the onager but they wished that I would see it Suddenly I looked and saw the onager Then I headed
towards my horse, saddled it and rode, but I forgot to take the lash and the spear. So I said to them
my companions), “Give me the lash and the spear.” But they said, “No, by Allah we will not help you
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.
