Hadith 4298

(وَمِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَالِثٍ) عَنْ نَافِعٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي قَتَادَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ بِبَعْضِ طُرُقِ مَكَّةَ، تَخَلَّفَ مَعَ أَصْحَابٍ لَهُ مُحْرِمِينَ وَهُوَ غَيْرُ مُحْرِمٍ فَرَأَى حِمَارًا وَحْشِيًّا فَاسْتَوَى عَلَى فَرَسِهِ وَسَأَلَ أَصْحَابَهُ أَنْ يُنَاوِلُوهُ سَوْطَهُ فَأَبَوْا فَسَأَلَهُمْ رُمْحَهُ فَأَبَوْا، فَأَخَذَهُ، ثُمَّ شَدَّ عَلَى الْحِمَارِ فَقَتَلَهُ فَأَكَلَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبَى بَعْضُهُمْ، فَلَمَّا أَدْرَكُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَأَلُوهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: ((إِنَّمَا هِيَ طُعْمَةٌ، أَطْعَمَكُمُوهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ))
(Third chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I was on a journey with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) was on one of the routes to Makkah. I lagged behind with some of my friends; the other people were in the state of ihram, but I was not in ihram. I saw a wild donkey and mounted my horse straight away and said to my friends: Hand me my stick, but they refused to do so. I said: Hand me my spear, but they also refused to do this. I dismounted myself, picked up the spear, and attacked the wild donkey, and eventually hunted it. Some of the companions ate from it, but some refused to eat it. When these people reached the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), they asked him about this matter. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This was food which Allah Almighty had fed you.
