It is narrated on the authority of Abu Ayyub that a man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: Direct me to a deed which draws me near to Paradise and takes me away from the Fire (of Hell). Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) said: You worship Allah and never associate anything with Him, establish prayer, and pay Zakat, and do good to your kin. When he turned his back, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) remarked: If he adheres to what he has been ordered to do, he would enter Paradise.

Jabir bin ahadeeth reported: A man asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (may peace he upon him) whether he should perform ablution after (eating) mutton. He (the Messenger of Allah) (ﷺ) said: Perform ablution if you so desire, and if you do not wish, do not perform it. He (again) asked: Should I perform ablution (after eating) camel's flesh? He said: Yes, perform ablution (after eating) camel's flesh. He (again) said: May I say prayer in the sheepfolds? He (the Messenger of Allah) (ﷺ) said: Yes. He (the narrator) again said: May I say prayer where camels lie down? He (the Holy Prophet) said: No.

This hadith is also narrated by another chain of transmitters.

'Abdullah bin Abu Qatadah (RA) reported on the authority of his father (RA) : The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) set out for Pilgrimage and we also set out along with him. He (Abu Qatadah (RA)) said: There proceeded on some of his Companions and Abu Qatadah (RA) was (one of them). He, (the Holy Prophet) said: You proceed along the coastline till you meet me. He (Abu Qatadah (RA)) said: So they proceeded ahead of the Prophet (ﷺ) of God (ﷺ) , all of them had entered upon the state of Ihram, except Abu Qatadah (RA); he had not put on Ihram. As they went on they saw a wild ass, and Abu Qatadah (RA) attacked it and cut off its hind legs. They got down and ate its meat. They said: We ate meat in the state of Ihram. They carried the meat that was left of it. As they came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) they said: Messenger of Allah, we were in the state of Ihram where as Abu Qatadah (RA) was not. We saw a wild ass and Abu Qatadah (RA) attacked it and cut off its hind legs. We got down and ate its meat and we thus ate the meat of a game while we were in the state of Ihram. We have (carried to you) what was left out of its meat. Thereupon he (the holy Prophet) said: Did anyone among you command him (to hunt) or point to him with anything (to do so)? They said: No. Thereupon he said: Then eat what is left out of its meat.

This hadith is narrated on the authority of 'Uthman bin 'Abdullah bin Mauhab with the same chain of transmitters. And in the narration transmitted on the authority of Shaiban (the words are): "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Did any one of you command him to attack it or point towards it?" And in the narration transmitted by Shu'bah (the words are): "Did you point out or did you help or did you hunt?" Shu'bah said: I do not know whether he said: "Did you help or did you hunt?"
