It is narrated from Abdullah bin al-Harith (may Allah have mercy on him) that his father (Sayyiduna al-Harith, may Allah be pleased with him) arranged a meal of hospitality for Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) at Qudayd. Tharid was brought with partridge meat on it, and Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said to those present: "Eat it, for this game was hunted only for my sake." The narrator said: The people said: "It is Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) who forbids us from eating it." So Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) sent for Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and he came while brushing the leaves of trees off his hands. Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "Eat it." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I ask, by Allah, any man who saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when a Bedouin brought the leg of a wild ass and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) returned it and said: 'Take it to the people who are not in ihram, for we are in the state of ihram,'" or as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said. Some people stood up and testified to this. Then Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I ask, by Allah," or he said: "I remind, by Allah, any man who saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when a Bedouin brought some ostrich eggs and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Take it to the people who are out of ihram (that is, not in the state of ihram), for we are people in ihram.'" Then some people stood up and testified. Seeing this, Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) turned aside and went into his lodging, and the other people also rose from the food; then the people who were not in ihram came and ate it.
