وحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا صَالِحُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ، مَوْلَى أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ، يَقُولُ: خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِالْقَاحَةِ، فَمِنَّا الْمُحْرِمُ وَمِنَّا غَيْرُ الْمُحْرِمِ، إِذْ بَصُرْتُ بِأَصْحَابِي يَتَرَاءَوْنَ شَيْئًا، فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا حِمَارُ وَحْشٍ، فَأَسْرَجْتُ فَرَسِي وَأَخَذْتُ رُمْحِي، ثُمَّ رَكِبْتُ فَسَقَطَ مِنِّي سَوْطِي، فَقُلْتُ لِأَصْحَابِي: وَكَانُوا مُحْرِمِينَ: نَاوِلُونِي السَّوْطَ، فَقَالُوا: وَاللهِ، لَا نُعِينُكَ عَلَيْهِ بِشَيْءٍ، فَنَزَلْتُ فَتَنَاوَلْتُهُ، ثُمَّ رَكِبْتُ، فَأَدْرَكْتُ الْحِمَارَ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ وَهُوَ وَرَاءَ أَكَمَةٍ، فَطَعَنْتُهُ بِرُمْحِي فَعَقَرْتُهُ، فَأَتَيْتُ بِهِ أَصْحَابِي، فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: كُلُوهُ، وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: لَا تَأْكُلُوهُ، وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَامَنَا فَحَرَّكْتُ فَرَسِي فَأَدْرَكْتُهُ فَقَالَ: «هُوَ حَلَالٌ، فَكُلُوهُ».

We went with the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) till we reached al-Qaha (a place three stages away from Medina). Some of us were in the state of Ihram and some of us were not. I saw my companions looking towards something, and as I saw I found It to be a wild ass. I saddled my horse and took up my spear and then mounted upon (the horse) and my whip, fell down. I said to my companions as they were in the state of Ihram to pick up the whip for me but they said: By Allah, we cannot help you in any (such) thing (i. e. hunting). So i dismounted (the horse) and picked it (whip) up and mounted again and caught the wild ass after chasing it. It was behind a hillock and I attacked it with my spear and killed it. Then I brought it to my companions. Some of them said: Eat it, while others said: Do not eat it. The Apostle of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) was in front of us. I moved my horse and came to him (and asked him), whereupon he said: It is permissible, so eat it.
