Brief Explanation
1؎: Imam al-Nasa'i first cited authentic (sahih) hadiths in the chapter regarding the permissibility of horse meat, then in the chapter concerning its prohibition, he mentioned two hadiths, in the chain of which there are two weak (da'if) narrators. Finally, by mentioning this narration from Jabir radi Allahu anhu, he gave preference to the view that horse meat is lawful (halal).
