3809. It was narrated from Manşūr, from ‘Ubaid Abī Al-Ḥasan, from ‘Abdur-Raḥmān, from Ghālib bin Abjar who said: “We were stricken with a famine, and I had nothing to feed my family with except a few donkeys, but the Prophet ﷺ had forbidden the meat of domestic donkeys. I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: ‘O Messenger of Allāh, we have been stricken with a famine, and I have nothing with which to feed my family but some fat donkeys, but you have forbidden the meat of domestic donkeys.’ He said: ‘Feed your family with the fat donkeys you have. I only forbade it because of the animals that feed on the dung of the town.’” (Da’if) Abū Dāwūd said: This ‘Abdur-Raḥmān is Ibn Ma’qil. Abū Dāwūd said: Shu’bah reported this Hadīth from ‘Ubaid Abī Al-Ḥasan, from ‘Abdur-Raḥmān bin Ma'qil, from some people of Muzainah, that the chief of Muzainah, Abjar, or Ibn Abjar, asked the Prophet ﷺ.
