English translation
3155. Narrated Ibn Abi Aufa رضي الله عنهما: We were afflicted with hunger during the siege of Khaibar, and when it was the day of (the battle of) Khaibar, we slaughtered the donkeys, and when the pots got boiling (with their meat), Allāh's Messenger ﷺ made an announcement that all the pots should be upset and that nobody should eat anything of the meat of the donkeys. We thought that the Prophet ﷺ prohibited that because the Khumus had not been taken out of the booty (i.e., donkeys); other people said, "He prohibited eating them forever." [The ubnarrator added, "I asked Sa'īd bin Jubair who said, 'He (ﷺ) has made the eating of donkeys' meat illegal forever.'"]
