1824. Narrated 'Abdullāh bin Abū Qatāda that his father had told him that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ set out for Hajj and so did his Companions. He sent a batch of his Companions by another route and Abū Qatāda was one of them. The Prophet ﷺ said to them, "Proceed along the sea-shore till we meet all together." So, they took the route of the sea-shore, and when they started all of them assumed Iḥrām except Abū Qatāda. While they were proceeding on, his companions saw a group of onagers. Abū Qatāda chased the onagers and attacked and wounded a she-onager. They got down and ate some of its meat and said to each other: "How do we eat the meat of the game while we are in a state of Ihrām?" So, we (they) carried the rest of the she-onager's meat, and when they met Allāh's Messenger ﷺ they asked saying, "O Allāh's Messenger! We assumed Ihrām with the exception of Abū Qatāda and we saw (a group) of onagers. Abū Qatāda attacked them and wounded a she-onager from them. Then we got down and ate from its meat. Later, we said, (to each other), 'How do we eat the meat of the game and we are in a state of Ihrām?' So, we carried the rest of its meat." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Did anyone of you order Abū Qatāda to attack it or point at it?" They (we) replied in the negative. He said, "Then eat what is left of its meat."

1824 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ هُوَ ابْنُ مَوْهَبٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ حَاجًّا، فَخَرَجُوا مَعَهُ، فَصَرَفَ طَائِفَةً مِنْهُمْ فِيهِمْ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ، فَقَالَ: «خُذُوا سَاحِلَ البَحْرِ حَتَّى نَلْتَقِيَ» فَأَخَذُوا سَاحِلَ البَحْرِ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفُوا، أَحْرَمُوا كُلُّهُمْ إِلَّا أَبُو قَتَادَةَ لَمْ يُحْرِمْ، فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ يَسِيرُونَ إِذْ رَأَوْا حُمُرَ وَحْشٍ، فَحَمَلَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ عَلَى الحُمُرِ فَعَقَرَ مِنْهَا أَتَانًا، فَنَزَلُوا فَأَكَلُوا مِنْ لَحْمِهَا، وَقَالُوا: أَنَأْكُلُ لَحْمَ صَيْدٍ وَنَحْنُ مُحْرِمُونَ؟ فَحَمَلْنَا مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ لَحْمِ الأَتَانِ، فَلَمَّا أَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّا كُنَّا أَحْرَمْنَا، وَقَدْ كَانَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ لَمْ يُحْرِمْ، فَرَأَيْنَا حُمُرَ وَحْشٍ فَحَمَلَ عَلَيْهَا أَبُو قَتَادَةَ، فَعَقَرَ مِنْهَا أَتَانًا، فَنَزَلْنَا، فَأَكَلْنَا مِنْ لَحْمِهَا، ثُمَّ قُلْنَا: أَنَأْكُلُ لَحْمَ صَيْدٍ وَنَحْنُ مُحْرِمُونَ؟ فَحَمَلْنَا مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ لَحْمِهَا، قَالَ: «أَمِنْكُمْ أَحَدٌ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَحْمِلَ عَلَيْهَا، أَوْ أَشَارَ إِلَيْهَا». قَالُوا: لاَ، قَالَ: «فَكُلُوا مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ لَحْمِهَا»
