English translation
1852. It was reported from Nāfi', the freed slave of Abū Qatādah, from Abū Qatādah, that he was traveling with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ in one of the paths outside Makkah when he (Abū Qatādah) and a group of Muḥrim separated from the main group. He himself was not in Ihram. They saw an onager. He rode his horse and asked his Companions to give him his whip, but they refused. He then asked for his spear, but they refused. So he took it himself, then went in pursuit of the onager until he killed it. Some of the Companions of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ ate of it, whereas others left it. When they caught up with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ they asked him about it. He replied: "This is food that Allāh has fed you." (Sahih)
