Domestic donkeys

Sayyidah Umm Nasr al-Muharibiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: A man asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about the meat of domestic donkeys. He said: "Does it not graze on grass and eat (the leaves of) trees?" He replied: "Yes." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then eat of its meat."
Al-Tabarani recorded it. Its chain contains Ibn Ishaq, who is a mudallis; the rest of its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy), and regarding some of them there is criticism that does no harm.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade eating the meat of domestic donkeys because they were used for carrying loads.

The chain in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir contains Hibban bin Ali, in whom there is weakness, though he has also been declared trustworthy; and the chain in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat contains Muhammad bin Jabir, who is matruk (abandoned), though he has also been declared trustworthy.

Abu al-Waddak narrates: Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) told me: On the occasion of the battle of Khaybar we took some captive women. We began practising withdrawal ('azl) with them, since we wanted to receive their ransom from their families. One of us said to the others: "You are doing this while the Messenger of Allah is among you? Go to him and ask him." So we came to him (the narrator is unsure; perhaps the words are:) we mentioned this to him, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whatever fluid a child is to be born from, when Allah Almighty has decreed it, it will certainly come to be." The narrator says: Then we passed by the cooking pots, which were boiling. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked us: "What meat is this?" We said: "It is donkey meat." He said: "Domestic or wild?" We said: "No, rather domestic." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Pour these pots out." The narrator says: So we poured them out, even though we were hungry and had a strong craving for (that meat). The narrator says: We were ordered to tie up the mouths of the waterskins. (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Of this narration, only the part about withdrawal is transmitted in the Sahih.

The narrator says: Allah Almighty granted His Messenger the conquest of Fadak and Khaybar. The narrator says: The people came upon vegetables where there was garlic and onion. The narrator says: When those people came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) noticed its smell and was troubled by it. Then, when the people did it again, he said: "Beware, do not eat it; whoever eats any of it must not come near our gathering." The narrator says: On the day of Khaybar the people took domestic donkeys (and slaughtered them) and set their pots on the fire, and I also set my pot on the fire. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was informed of this, he said: "I forbid you from it, I forbid you from it." He said this twice, so the pots were overturned, and I also overturned my pot. (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Abu Dawud recorded from this Companion the prohibition of garlic and onion for one who comes to the mosque, whereas here the words are: "he must not come near our gathering."

Sayyiduna Abu Salit (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: On the occasion of the battle of Khaybar the people were struck by severe hunger. The people got up and went to their donkeys - this was in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) - slaughtered them and then set the pots on the fire. While the pots were still cooking, the command making them unlawful was revealed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The prohibition of the donkeys you are cooking has been revealed." So their pots were overturned.
