قَرَأْتُ عَلَى
عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَهْدِيٍّ :
مَالِكٌ ، عَنْ
أَبِي النَّضْرِ مَوْلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ
نَافِعٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي قَتَادَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ , عَنْ
أَبِي قَتَادَةَ , أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ بِبَعْضِ طُرُقِ مَكَّةَ ، تَخَلَّفَ مَعَ أَصْحَابٍ لَهُ مُحْرِمِينَ وَهُوَ غَيْرُ مُحْرِمٍ ، فَرَأَى حِمَارًا وَحْشِيًّا ، فَاسْتَوَى عَلَى فَرَسِهِ ، وَسَأَلَ أَصْحَابَهُ أَنْ يُنَاوِلُوهُ سَوْطَهُ ، فَأَبَوْا ، فَسَأَلَهُمْ رُمْحَهُ ، فَأَبَوْا ، وَأَخَذَهُ ، ثُمَّ شَدَّ عَلَى الْحِمَارِ ، فَقَتَلَهُ ، فَأَكَلَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَأَبَى بَعْضُهُمْ ، فَلَمَّا أَدْرَكُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، سَأَلُوهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنَّمَا
هِيَ طُعْمَةٌ أَطْعَمَكُمُوهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ " . .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he was traveling with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on a route to Makkah Mukarramah. He, along with some of his companions who were in the state of ihram, lagged behind, but he himself was not in the state of ihram. He saw a wild donkey, so he quickly mounted his horse and asked his companions for his whip, but they refused. Then he asked for a spear, but they also refused to give it. Eventually, he himself got down, took it, and ran swiftly towards the wild donkey and hunted it. Some of the noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them) ate from it, while some refused to eat. When they reached the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), they asked about it. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is Allah who has fed you this food."
