Sahih Muslim, 2852

Rapporté par Abu Qatada رضي الله عنه : Alors qu’il était avec le Messager d’Allah ﷺ sur une des routes de La Mecque, il s’est retrouvé en arrière avec des compagnons qui étaient en état d’ihram, alors que lui ne l’était pas. Il a vu un âne sauvage. En montant à cheval, il a demandé à ses compagnons de lui ramasser son fouet tombé, mais ils ont refusé. Il leur a demandé de lui passer sa lance, mais ils ont aussi refusé. Il l’a donc prise lui-même, a poursuivi l’âne sauvage et l’a tué. Certains compagnons du Messager d’Allah ﷺ ont mangé de sa viande, d’autres ont refusé. Ils ont rejoint le Messager d’Allah ﷺ et l’ont interrogé à ce sujet. Il a dit : « C’est une nourriture qu’Allah vous a accordée, alors mangez-en. »

Abu Qatada (Allah be pleased with him) reported that while he was with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on one of the highways of Mecca, he lagged behind him (the Holy Prophet) along with companions who were in the state of Ihram, whereas he was himself not Muhrim. He saw a wild ass. As he was mounting his horse he asked his companions to pick up for him his whip (which had dropped) but they refused to do so. He asked them to hand him over the spear, but they refused. He then himself took hold of it and chased the wild ass and killed it. Some of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (way peace be upon him) ate (its meat), but some of them refused to do so. They overtook the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and asked him about it, and he said:It is a food which Allah provided you (so eat it)
