عَنِ ابْنِ الْحَوْتَكِيَّةِ قَالَ: أُتِيَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بِطَعَامٍ فَدَعَا إِلَيْهِ رَجُلًا، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي صَائِمٌ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: وَأَيُّ الصِّيَامِ تَصُومُ؟ لَوْلَا كَرَاهِيَةُ أَنْ أَزِيدَ أَوْ أَنْقُصَ لَحَدَّثْتُكُمْ بِحَدِيثِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَيْنَ جَاءَهُ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ بِالْأَرْنَبِ، وَلَكِنْ أَرْسِلُوا إِلَى عَمَّارٍ، فَلَمَّا جَاءَهُ عَمَّارٌ، قَالَ: أَشَاهِدٌ أَنْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ جَاءَهُ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ بِالْأَرْنَبِ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ بِهَا دَمًا، فَقَالَ: ((كُلُوهَا))، قَالَ: إِنِّي صَائِمٌ، قَالَ: ((وَأَيُّ الصِّيَامِ تَصُومُ؟)) قَالَ: أَوَّلَ الشَّهْرِ وَآخِرَهُ، قَالَ: ((إِنْ كُنْتَ صَائِمًا فَصُمِ الثَّلَاثَ عَشْرَةَ وَالْأَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ وَالْخَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ))
Ibn Hu Takiyah says that food was presented to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). He invited a man to eat, but he said: I am fasting. He (Umar) asked: On which days do you fast? If there was no fear of error, I would have told you a hadith of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), according to which a Bedouin once brought a rabbit to him. However, you should call Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him). When he came, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him: Were you present on the day when a Bedouin brought a rabbit to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? He replied: Yes. The Bedouin said: I saw that it bleeds. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You may eat it. The Bedouin said: I am fasting. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: On which days of the month do you fast? He said: At the beginning and end of the month. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If you wish to fast, then fast on the 13th, 14th, and 15th of the lunar month.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … According to the legal (shar‘i) principles, the rabbit is lawful (halal). The Bedouin intended to say that just as a woman experiences menstrual blood, similarly, this animal also has blood (of this kind), but this does not make any difference regarding the lawfulness of this animal. In any case, the temperament of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was not inclined (to eat it).
