Al-Muwatta de Malik, 778

Abou Katada Al-Ansari a rapporté qu'il était en compagnie de l'Envoyé d'Allah (salallahou alayhi wa salam) r (Sur lui la grâce et la paix d'Allah) Quand ils prirent une des routes de La Mecque ils se trouvèrent distancés, tous ses compagnons étaient en état d'ihram, sauf lui. Il vit un onagre, ainsi il se réajusta sur son cheval, et demanda à ses compagnons de lui faire passer son fouet; mais ils refusèrent; il leur demanda, sa lance, qu'ils lui refusèrent encore; alors il la prit et s'élança de toute sa force contre l'onagre et le tua. Quelques uns des compagnons de l'Envoyé d'Allah (salallahou alayhi wa salam) r (Sur lui la grâce et la paix d'Allah) mangèrent de sa chair, quant aux autres, ils en refusèrent. Une fois, arrivés auprès de l'Envoyé d'Allah (salallahou alayhi wa salam) r (Sur lui la grâce et la paix d'Allah) ils lui demandèrent à propos de la chair de l'onagre, est-elle à manger»? Il leur répondit: «Ce n'est d'ailleurs qu'une nourriture que Allah vous avait accordée»

Yahya related to me from Malik, from Abu'n-Nadr, the mawla of 'Umar ibn 'Ubaydullah at-Taymi, from Nafi, the mawla of Abu Qatada al- Ansari, that Abu Qatada was once with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. When they got to one of the roads to Makka he fell behind with some companions of his who were muhrim, while he was not. Then he saw a wild ass, so he got on his mount and asked his companions to give him his whip but they refused. Then he asked them for his spear and they refused to give it to him. So he took hold of it and attacked the ass and killed it. Some of the companions of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, ate from it, and others refused. When they had caught up with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, they asked him about it and he said, "It is food that Allah has fed you with
