يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنِي
ابْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ
أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ
أَبِي قَتَادَةَ : أَنَّهُ خَرَجَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُمْ مُحْرِمُونَ ، وَهُوَ غَيْرُ مُحْرِمٍ ، فَرَأَى حِمَارًا وَحْشِيًّا ، فَرَكِبَ فَرَسَهُ ، وَسَأَلَهُمْ أَنْ يُنَاوِلُوهُ الرُّمْحَ أَوِ السَّوْطَ فَأَبَوْا أَنْ يُنَاوِلُوهُ ، فَتَنَاوَلَهُ ، ثُمَّ شَدَّ عَلَيْهِ ، فَعَقَرَهُ ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ بِهِ فَلَحِقُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لَهُ ، فَقَالَ : " هَلْ مَعَكُمْ مِنْ لَحْمِهِ شَيْءٌ ؟ " قَالُوا : نَعَمْ ، فَأَتَوْهُ بِرِجْلِهِ ، فَأَكَلَ مِنْهَا ، قَدْ خَرَّجْتُ فِي كِتَابِ الْكَبِيرِ طُرُقَ خَبَرِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ ، وَذَلِكَ مَنْ قَالَ : إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَكَلَ مِنْ لَحْمِ ذَلِكَ الْحِمَارِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he set out on a journey with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) while the noble Companions were in the state of Ihram and Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) was not in Ihram. He saw a wild donkey, so he mounted his horse (to hunt it) and asked his companions to hand him a spear or a whip, but they refused to hand it to him because they were in the state of Ihram. Therefore, he himself (got down and picked up the spear, then chased the donkey and (caught it and) slaughtered it. Then he brought the donkey and presented it. The other noble Companions also came to you and narrated the whole incident. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Do you have any of its meat?" The Companions replied, "Yes," and its thigh was presented to you and you ate from it. I have mentioned all the routes of narration of Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) in Kitab al-Kabir, and this is the evidence for those who say that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ate the meat of that donkey.
