Hadith 3976

أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ زُهَيْرٍ بِتُسْتَرَ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ مُكْرَمٍ بِالْبَصْرَةَ شَيْخَانِ حَافِظَانِ ، قَالا : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الْعُقَيْلِيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ عِيَاضِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، قَالَ : " بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ الأَنْصَارِيَّ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةَ ، وَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ مُحْرِمُونَ ، حَتَّى نَزَلُوا بِعُسْفَانَ ثَنِيَّةِ الْغَزَّالِ ، فَإِذَا هُمْ بِحِمَارٍ وَحْشِيٍّ ، فَجَاءَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ ، وَهُوَ حِلٌّ فَنَكَّسُوا رُؤُوسَهُمْ كَرَاهِيَةَ أَنْ يُحِدُّوا أَبْصَارَهُمْ فَيَفْطَنَ ، فَرَآهُ فَرَكِبَ فَرَسَهُ ، وَأَخَذَ الرُّمْحَ ، فَسَقَطَ مِنْهُ السَّوْطُ ، فَقَالَ : نَاوِلْنِيهِ ، فَقُلْنَا : لا نُعِينُكَ عَلَيْهِ بِشَيْءٍ ، فَحَمَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَعَقَرَهُ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ جَعَلُوا يَشْوُونَ مِنْهُ ، ثُمَّ قَالُوا : رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا ، وَكَانَ تَقَدَّمَهُمْ ، فَأَتَوْهُ ، فَسَأَلُوهُ ، فَلَمْ يَرَ بِهِ بَأْسًا " ، وَأَظُنُّهُ قَالَ : مَعَكُمْ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ شَكَّ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ .
Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) to collect Zakat. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his companions set out wearing Ihram, until they camped in the valley called "Ghazzal" near "Usfan." There was a wild donkey (i.e., a zebra) present there. Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) came; he had not put on Ihram at that time. The other companions, disliking this, lowered their heads so that Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) would not notice (the animal) by following their gaze. Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) also saw (the animal). He mounted his horse and took his spear. His stick fell down, so he said: "Hand this to me." We said: "We will not help you in any way regarding this." So Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) attacked it and killed it. The narrator says: Then he roasted some of its meat. They said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is among us. (The narrator says) The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had gone ahead at that time. They went to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked him about this. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not see any harm in it. (The narrator says) I think these words are also in the narration: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you have any of it (some meat) with you?" This doubt is from the narrator named Ubaydullah.
