1792. Khuzaimah bin Jaz' said: "I asked the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ about eating badger. He said: 'Does anyone eat badger?' So I asked him about eating wolf. He said: 'Does anyone who has any good in him eat wolf?'" (Da'if)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] The chain for this Hadīth is not strong. We do not know of it except as a narration of Ismā'il bin Muslim from 'Abdul-Karīm Abī Umayyah. Some of the people of Hadīth have criticized Ismā'il and 'Abdul-Karīm Abī Umayyah. And he is 'Abdul-Karīm bin Qais, who is Ibn Abī Al-Mukhārīq. While 'Abdul-Karīm bin Mālik Al-Jazari is trustworthy.

Commentary
The Hadīth being "weak" cannot be taken as proof of anything. As for the wolf, it being a predatory and ferocious animal it is forbidden to eat it. For more details please see Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhi, v.3, p.72-77.
