1849. It was reported from Ishāq bin ‘Abdullāh bin Al-Hārith that his father — Al-Hārith, who was the deputy for ‘Uthmān, may Allāh be pleased with him, over Aṭ-Ṭā’if — prepared some food for ‘Uthmān, which included quail, partridge and wild game. He sent some to ‘Alī, may Allāh be pleased with him. When the messenger came to him, he was collecting leaves for his camels, shaking them off of his hand. The messenger said: ‘Eat.’ He replied: ‘Give it to those who are not in the state of Iḥrām, for we are in Iḥrām.’ Then ‘Alī, may Allāh be pleased with him said: ‘I ask, by Allāh, those of the (tribe) of Ashja’ that are here: Do you not know that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was given a nager to eat from while he was in the state of Iḥrām, and he refused to eat of it?’ They replied: ‘Yes.’”(Da’if)
