1265 صحيح حديث ابْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى، قَالَ: أَصَابَتْنَا مَجَاعَةٌ، لَيَالِيَ خَيْبَرَ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ خَيْبَرَ، وَقَعْنَا فِي الْحُمُرِ الأَهْلِيَّةِ فَانْتَحَرْنَاهَا، فَلَمَّا غَلَتِ الْقُدُورُ نَادَى مُنَادِي رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَكْفِئُوا الْقُدُورَ فَلاَ تَطْعَمُوا مِنْ لُحُومِ الْحُمُرِ شَيْئًا قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ (هُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي أَوْفَى) : فَقُلْنَا إِنَّمَا نَهى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لأَنَّهَا لَمْ تُخَمَّسْ، قَالَ: وَقَالَ آخَرُونَ حَرَّمَهَا الْبَتَّةَ
Hazrat Ibn Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that during the Battle of Khaybar, we suffered from repeated hunger. Finally, on the day Khaybar was conquered, we also received domestic donkeys (as spoils of war). So, we slaughtered them and began to cook them. When the pots began to boil, the announcer of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) proclaimed that the pots should be overturned and nothing from the meat of the domestic donkeys should be eaten. Abdullah bin Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that some people said that perhaps the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade it because the khums (one-fifth share) had not yet been taken from it, but some other companions said that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had absolutely declared the meat of the donkey to be forbidden.
Hadith 1266
1266 صحيح حديث الْبَرَاءِ وَعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى، أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَصَابُوا حُمُرًا فَطَبَخُوهَا، فَنَادَى مُنَادِي النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَكْفِئُوا الْقُدُورَ
It is narrated from Hazrat Bara and Abdullah bin Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with them) that they were with the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then they found some donkeys, so they cooked their meat, but the announcer of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) proclaimed: "Turn over the pots."
Hadith 1267
1267 صحيح حديث ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رضي الله عنهما، قَالَ: لاَ أَدْرِي أَنْهى عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُ كَانَ حَمُولَةَ النَّاسِ فَكَرِهَ أَنْ تَذْهَبَ حَمُولَتُهُمْ، أَوْ حَرَّمَهُ فِي يَوْمِ خَيْبَرَ، لَحْمَ الْحُمُرِ الأَهْلِيَّةِ
Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that I do not know whether the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade eating the meat of donkeys because they are used for carrying loads, and he did not like that the animals used for carrying loads should become extinct, or whether he forbade only the meat of domesticated donkeys on the occasion of the Battle of Khaybar.
Hadith 1268
1268 صحيح حديث سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الأَكْوَعِ رضي الله عنه، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأَى نِيرَانًا تُوقَدُ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ قَالَ: عَلَى مَا توقَدُ هذِهِ النِّيرَانُ قَالُوا: عَلَى الْحُمُرِ الإِنْسِيَّةِ، قَالَ: اكْسِرُوهَا وَأَهْرِقُوهَا قَالُوا: أَلاَ نُهَرِيقهَا وَنَغْسِلُهَا قَالَ: اغْسِلُوا
Hazrat Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that on the occasion of the Battle of Khaybar, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) saw that a fire was being lit. The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked, “For what purpose is this fire being lit?” The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) replied that it was for cooking the meat of donkeys. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Break the pots in which the donkey meat is being cooked and throw away the meat.” Upon this, the companions said, “Why don’t we just throw away the meat and wash the pots?” The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Then wash the pots.”
