Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 25857 — Eating hare

Hisham bin Zayd bin Anas reports concerning Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him); he said: I heard him say: We startled a rabbit out of hiding at Marr al-Zahran. The boys ran after it until they were completely exhausted. Then I caught it, and I took it to Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him), who slaughtered it. Then he sent me with its haunch to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) accepted it. Bukhari 2572. Muslim 53.
