English translation
2854. Narrated ‘Abdullāh bin Abī Qatāda: Abū Qatāda went out (on a journey) with Allāh's Messenger ﷺ but he was left behind with some of his companions who were in a state of Ihrām. He himself was not in a state of Ihrām. They saw an onager before he could see it. When they saw the onager, they did not speak anything till Abū Qatāda saw it. So, he rode over his horse called Al-Jarāda and requested them to give him his lash, but they refused. So, he himself took it and then attacked the onager and slaughtered it. He ate of its meat and his companions ate too, but they regretted their eating. When they met the Prophet ﷺ (they asked him about it) and he asked, "Have you some of its meat (left) with you?" Abū Qatāda replied, "Yes, we have its leg with us." So, the Prophet ﷺ took and ate it.
