5490. Narrated Abū Qatāda that once he was with Allāh's Messenger ﷺ (on the way to Makkah). When he had covered some of the way to Makkah, he and some companions of his, who were in the state of Ihrām, remained behind the Prophet ﷺ, while Abū Qatāda himself was not in the state of Ihrām. Abū Qatāda, seeing an onager rode his horse and asked his companions to hand him a whip, but they refused. He then asked them to hand him his spear, but they refused. Then he took it himself and attacked the onager and killed it. Some of the companions of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ ate of it, but some others refused to eat. When they met Allāh's Messenger ﷺ they asked him about that. He said, "It was a meal given to you by Allāh."
