Chapter: What Game The Muhrim Is Not Permitted To Eat
Sunan Nasai 2823 — What Game The Muhrim Is Not Permitted To Eat
أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، قَالَ : أَنْبَأَنَا قَيْسُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : لِزَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ : " مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُهْدِيَ لَهُ عُضْوُ صَيْدٍ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ ، فَلَمْ يَقْبَلْهُ ، قَالَ : نَعَمْ " .
´It was narrated from 'Ata' that Ibn 'Abbas said to Zaid bin Arqam:` "Do you not know that the Prophet was given a piece of game meant when he was in Ihram and he did not accept it?" He said: "Yes."

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
This narration indicates that the animal was not presented alive in your (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) service, rather a piece of a slaughtered animal was presented. The Hanafis say that you (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) returned it because he had presented a live game, and slaughtering is not permissible for a person in the state of ihram. However, if that had been the case, you (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) could have said, "Slaughter it and bring it." This narration refutes the position of the Hanafis. The correct explanation has already passed under Hadith number 2821.
