English translation
[2852] 57 - (...) It was narrated from Abû Qatâdah that he was with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, and when they were partway along the road to Makkah, he lagged behind with some companions of his who were in Ihrâm, and he was not in Ihrâm. He saw an onager, so he mounted his horse and asked his companions to hand him his whip, but they refused to do so. He asked them for his spear, and they refused to give it to him. He picked it up and chased the onager and killed it, and some of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ ate from it and some of them refused. They caught up with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and asked him about that, and he said: "It is food that Allāh has provided for you."
