851. Ibn Abī 'Ammār said: "I asked Jābir bin 'Abdullāh: 'Is the hyena game?' He said: 'Yes.'" He said: "I said: 'Can it be eaten?' He said: 'Yes.'" He said: "I said: 'Did the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say that?' He said: 'Yes.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)
Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ. 'Alī (bin Al-Madīnī) said: "Yāhya bin Sa'eed reported
this Hadīth from Jarīr bin Hāzim, so he said: 'From Jābir, from 'Umar.'" The Hadīth of Ibn Jurāij is more correct and it is the view of Aḥmad and Ishāq. This Hadīth is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge; when the Muḥrim kills a hyena then the penalty is due from him.
