عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ خَيْبَرَ أَصَابَ النَّاسَ مَجَاعَةٌ فَأَخَذُوا الْحُمُرَ الْإِنْسِيَّةَ فَذَبَحُوهَا وَمَلَئُوا مِنْهَا الْقُدُورَ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ جَابِرٌ فَأَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَكَفَأْنَا الْقُدُورَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ سَيَأْتِيكُمْ بِرِزْقٍ هُوَ أَحَلُّ لَكُمْ مِنْ ذَا وَأَطْيَبُ مِنْ ذَا قَالَ فَكَفَأْنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ الْقُدُورَ وَهِيَ تَغْلِي فَحَرَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْحُمُرَ الْإِنْسِيَّةَ وَلُحُومَ الْبِغَالِ وَكُلَّ ذِي نَابٍ مِنَ السِّبَاعِ وَكُلَّ ذِي مِخْلَبٍ مِنَ الطَّيْرِ وَحَرَّمَ الْمُجَثَّمَةَ وَالْخِلْسَةَ وَالنُّهْبَةَ
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that on the day of Khaybar, the people were extremely hungry, so they slaughtered and cooked domestic donkeys, filling pots with their meat and began to cook them. When this matter reached the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that the pots be overturned, so we overturned the pots. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty will soon grant you sustenance better and more lawful than this. We overturned the pots that day while they were boiling. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on that day declared as forbidden: the meat of domestic donkeys, mules, every predatory animal with fangs, every bird that hunts with its talons, any animal that has been tied and used as a target, any animal that a predator has seized and it dies, and looted property. He (peace and blessings be upon him) declared all these things forbidden.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … “Dhi nabin min al-siba‘” refers to such a predatory animal that hunts and eats with its canine teeth, for example, a lion, wolf, leopard, jackal, and fox, etc. This hadith is a definitive and clear proof of the authority of the sayings and actions of the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, because the prohibition of these animals is not established from the Noble Qur’an, yet every Muslim considers them forbidden. The prohibition of all such animals is established from the blessed ahadith.
