Bayhaqi 9939 — The muhrim does not accept live game given

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أنا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: وَكَانَ الْحَارِثُ خَلِيفَةَ عُثْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ عَلَى الطَّائِفِ فَصَنَعَ لِعُثْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ طَعَامًا، وَصَنَعَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْحَجَلِ وَالْيَعَاقِيبِ وَلُحُومِ الْوَحْشِ، قَالَ: فَبَعَثَ إِلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فَجَاءَهُ الرَّسُولُ وَهُوَ يَخْبِطُ لِأَبَاعِرَ لَهُ فَجَاءَهُ وَهُوَ يَنْقُضُ الْخَبْطَ مِنْ يَدِهِ فَقَالُوا لَهُ: كُلْ، فَقَالَ: " أَطْعِمُوهُ قَوْمًا حَلَالًا فَإِنَّا قَوْمٌ حُرُمٌ " ثُمَّ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: أَنْشُدُ اللهَ مَنْ كَانَ هَا هُنَا مِنْ أَشْجَعَ أَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَهْدَى إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ حِمَارَ وَحْشٍ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَأْكُلَهُ؟ " قَالُوا: نَعَمْ وَتَأْوِيلُ هَذَيْنِ الْمُسْنَدَيْنِ مَا ذَكَرَهُ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ فِي تَأْوِيلِ حَدِيثِ مَنْ رَوَى فِي قِصَّةِ الصَّعْبِ بْنِ جَثَّامَةَ أَنَّهُ أَهْدَى إِلَيْهِ مِنْ لَحْمِ حِمَارٍ، وَأَمَّا عَلِيٌّ، وَابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا فَإِنَّهُمَا ذَهَبَا إِلَى تَحْرِيمِ أَكْلِهِ عَلَى الْمُحْرِمِ مُطْلَقًا، وَقَدْ خَالَفَهُمَا عُمَرُ، وَعُثْمَانُ، وَطَلْحَةُ، وَالزُّبَيْرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمْ، وَغَيْرُهُمْ وَمَعَهُمْ حَدِيثُ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، وَجَابِرٍ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.
Ishaq bin Abdullah bin al-Harith narrates from his father that al-Harith was the deputy of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) over al-Ta'if. He prepared food for Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), and included in it partridges, male partridges and the meat of wild game. He sent for Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him). The messenger came to him while he was beating down leaves for his camels, and he came shaking the leaves off his hands. They said to him: Eat. He said: Feed it to people who are not in ihram, for we are people in ihram. Then Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I adjure by Allah whoever is here from the tribe of Ashja': do you know that a man gave the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) a wild donkey as a gift while he was in the state of ihram, and he refused to eat it? They said: Yes.
(b) The explanation of these two connected reports is what al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned in explaining the hadith of those who narrated, in the story of Sa'b bin Jaththamah, that he gave him some of the meat of a donkey. As for Sayyiduna Ali and Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), they held that eating it is absolutely forbidden for the person in ihram. Sayyiduna Umar, Uthman, Talhah and Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with them) and others differed with them both, and on their side is the hadith of Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah and Jabir (may Allah be pleased with them both). And Allah knows best.
