Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: On the occasion of the battle of Khaybar the people were struck by hunger. They took donkeys, slaughtered them and set the cooking pots on the fire. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was informed of this, Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered us to overturn the pots, and he said: "Allah Almighty will soon give you provision that is more lawful for you than this and purer." The narrator says: So that day we overturned the pots while they were boiling. The narrator says: Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) declared unlawful the meat of domestic donkeys, the meat of horses, the meat of mules, and the meat of every predatory animal with fangs and every bird with talons. He also declared unlawful al-mujaththamah, al-khulsah and al-nuhbah (i.e., using something snatched or plundered). (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say:
Al-Tirmidhi recorded it in abridged form.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and al-Bazzar recorded it in abridged form. The narrators of both are the narrators of the Sahih, except for al-Tabarani's teacher Umar bin Hafs al-Sadusi, who is thiqah (trustworthy).
