Hadith 1938
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ عَدِيٍّ وَهُوَ ابْنُ ثَابِتٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ ، وَعَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي أَوْفَى ، يقولان : " أَصَبْنَا حُمُرًا فَطَبَخْنَاهَا ، فَنَادَى مُنَادِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اكْفَئُوا الْقُدُورَ " .
'Adi (he was the son of Thabit) said: I heard al-Bara' and 'Abdullah bin Abu Aufa say: We found domestic asses and we cooked them. Then the announcer of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) made an announcement that the earthen pots should be turned over.
