حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مِنْهَالٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي عَدِيُّ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ ، وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ : " أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَصَابُوا حُمُرًا ، فَطَبَخُوهَا ، فَنَادَى مُنَادِي النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَكْفِئُوا الْقُدُورَ " .

Hadith Commentary:
This narration is extremely brief.
In another narration, there is some detail that on the day of Khaybar, hunger afflicted us, so people began slaughtering domestic donkeys and started cooking their meat.
During this, an announcer from the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) made an announcement: "Turn your pots upside down."
