Hadith 2829

أَخْبَرَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ، قَالَ : أَنْبَأَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَوْهَبٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا فِي مَسِيرٍ لَهُمْ بَعْضُهُمْ مُحْرِمٌ وَبَعْضُهُمْ لَيْسَ بِمُحْرِمٍ ، قَالَ : فَرَأَيْتُ حِمَارَ وَحْشٍ فَرَكِبْتُ فَرَسِي وَأَخَذْتُ الرُّمْحَ ، فَاسْتَعَنْتُهُمْ ، فَأَبَوْا أَنْ يُعِينُونِي ، فَاخْتَلَسْتُ سَوْطًا مِنْ بَعْضِهِمْ ، فَشَدَدْتُ عَلَى الْحِمَارِ فَأَصَبْتُهُ ، فَأَكَلُوا مِنْهُ ، فَأَشْفَقُوا ، قَالَ : فَسُئِلَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " هَلْ أَشَرْتُمْ أَوْ أَعَنْتُمْ ؟ " قَالُوا : لَا ، قَالَ : " فَكُلُوا " .
´Abdullah bin Abi Qatadah narrated from his father that:` they were on a march, somr of them in Ihram and some not in Ihram. He said: "I saw an onager so I mounted my horse and picked up a spear. I asked them to help me but they refused to help me. I snatched a whip from one of them and chased the onager and caught it. They ate of it but they were scared. The prophet was asked about that and he said: 'Did you pint (at it) or help him?' They said, 'No.' He said: Then eat.'"

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
English translation:

From the questions of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), it is understood that if he had indicated (towards the prey) or provided any assistance, then that game would not have been permissible for him to eat. And this is precisely the purpose of the chapter, because indicating or cooperating is tantamount to hunting. And hunting is impermissible for the muhrim (one in the state of ihram).
