[2854] 59 - (...) 'Abdullāh bin Abī Qatādah said: "My father set out with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ during the year of Al-Ḥudaybiyah, and his Companions entered Iḥrām but he did not. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was told that there was an enemy in Ghaiqah, so the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ set out." He said: “While I was with his Companions, one of them smiled at me. I looked and there I saw an onager, so I attacked it, stabbed it and held on to it. I asked them to help me but they refused to do so. We ate some of its meat, and we were afraid that we would be separated (from the people), so I set out to catch up with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. I made my horse go fast sometimes and slow sometimes, then I met a man from Banû Ghifār in the middle of the night and I said: ‘Where did you meet the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ?’ He said: ‘I left him in Ta’hin, but he was intending to stop at As-Suqyâ.’ So I caught up with him and I said: ‘O Messenger of Allāh, your Companions send greetings of Salām and the mercy of Allāh to you, and they are afraid lest they get separated from you, so wait for them.’ He waited for them, and I said: ‘O Messenger of Allāh, I caught some game and I have some of it left over.’ The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to the people: ‘Eat,’ and they were in Iḥrām.”
