English translation
[2855] 60 - (...) It was narrated from ‘Abdullāh bin Abî Qatādah that his father [may Allāh be pleased with them] said: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ set out for Hajj, and we set out with him. He told some of his Companions, among whom was Abû Qatādah, to take a different route, and he said: 'Follow the coast until you meet me.' So they followed the coast, and when they went on ahead of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, they all entered Ihrâm, except Abû Qatâdah, who did not enter Ihrâm. While they were travelling, they saw some onagers, so Abû Qatâdah pursued them and killed a female onager. They dismounted and ate some of its meat, then they said: 'We have eaten meat while we are in Ihrâm.' So they took what was left of the meat of the female onager, and when they reached the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ they said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, we had entered Ihrâm, but Abû Qatâdah did not enter Ihrâm, and we saw some onagers; Abû Qatâdah pursued them and killed a female onager, and we dismounted and ate some of its meat. Then we said: "We are eating game meat while we are in Ihrâm." So we brought what was left of its meat.' He said: 'Did any of you tell him (to hunt it) or gesture to him in any way?' They said: 'No.' He said: 'Then eat what is left of its meat.'"
