Hadith 5275
أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الأَزْدِيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ الْعَدَنِيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، وَمَعْنُ بْنُ عِيسَى ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : " نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ أَكْلِ الْحِمَارِ الأَهْلِيِّ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ ، وَكَانَ النَّاسُ احْتَاجُوا إِلَيْهَا " .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade eating the meat of donkeys on the occasion of the Battle of Khaybar, even though the people were in (extreme) need of it.
Hadith 5276
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدُ بْنُ مُسَرْهَدٍ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى الْقَطَّانِ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الأَكْوَعِ ، قَالَ : خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى خَيْبَرَ ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ : أَيْ عَامِرٌ ، لَوْ مَتَّعْتَنَا مِنْ هَنَاتِكَ ، فَنَزَلَ يَحْدُو لَهُمْ ، فَذَكَرَ اللَّهَ ، وَذَكَرَ شِعْرًا لَمْ أَحْفَظْهُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ هَذَا السَّائِقُ ؟ قَالُوا : عَامِرُ بْنُ الأَكْوَعِ ، قَالَ : يَرْحَمُهُ اللَّهُ ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، لَوْ مَتَّعْتَنَا بِهِ ، فَلَمَّا أَصَابُوا الْقَوْمَ قَاتَلُوهُمْ وَأُصِيبَ عَامِرٌ ، فَلَمَّا أَمْسَوْا أَوْقَدُوا نَارًا كَثِيرًا ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَا هَذِهِ النَّارُ ؟ عَلَى أَيِّ شَيْءٍ تُوقَدُ ؟ قَالُوا : عَلَى الْحُمُرِ الإِنْسِيَّةِ ، فَقَالَ : أَهْرِيقُوا مَا فِيهَا وَكَسِّرُوهَا ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَلا نُهَرِيقُ مَا فِيهَا وَنَغْسِلُهَا ؟ فَقَالَ : فَذَاكَ " ، قَالَ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ : قَوْلُهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَهْرِيقُوا مَا فِيهَا " أَمْرُ حَتْمٍ ، وَقَوْلُهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " وَكَسِّرُوهَا " : أَمْرُ تَشْدِيدٍ وَتَغْلِيظٍ دُونَ الْحُكْمِ ، أَلا تَرَى الرَّجُلَ مِمَّنْ أَمَرَهُمْ بِكَسْرِهَا ، قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَلا نُهَرِيقُ مَا فِيهَا وَنَغْسِلُهَا ؟ قَالَ : " فَذَاكَ " .
Sayyiduna Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We set out towards Khaybar with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). One of those present said: O ‘Amir! If you would entertain us with your songs (it would be appropriate). So Sayyiduna ‘Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) got down from his mount to recite poetry for the people. He mentioned Allah Almighty and then recited a verse of poetry which I do not remember. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked: Who is the man leading the animal? The people replied: This is ‘Amir bin Akwa’. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: May Allah have mercy on him. One of those present said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! If you would allow us to enjoy this (it would be a favor).
When they attacked the enemies and fought with them, Sayyiduna ‘Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) was wounded. When evening came, they lit many fires. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked: Is there a reason for this fire, and what is being cooked? The people replied: Donkey meat is being cooked. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Pour out what is in the pots and break them. One man said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! Should we not pour out what is in them and wash them instead? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Do so.
(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): “Pour out what is in them” is a binding command. And the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): “Break them” is a command to show severity and strictness. It is not a binding command. Do you not see that when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) commanded the pots to be broken, the man said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! Should we not pour out what is in them and wash them? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Do so.
