Hadith 4
Hajj
Abu Qatadah Al-Ansari (RAA) narrated concerning his hunting a zebra while he is not in a state of Ihram, that ‘Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said to Abu Qatada’s companions -who were in a state of Ihram, "Did any one of you ask Abu Qatadah to attack the herd, or point it out to him?" They said, ‘No.’ The Prophet (ﷺ) then said, "Then, you may eat what is left of the quarry." Agreed upon.
وَعَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ اَلْأَنْصَارِيِّ - رضى الله عنه - { فِي قِصَّةِ صَيْدِهِ اَلْحِمَارَ اَلْوَحْشِيَّ, وَهُوَ غَيْرُ مُحْرِمٍ, قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -لِأَصْحَابِهِ, وَكَانُوا مُحْرِمِينَ: " هَلْ مِنْكُمْ أَحَدٌ أَمَرَهُ أَوْ أَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ بِشَيْءٍ ? " قَالُوا: لَا. قَالَ: " فَكُلُوا مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ لَحْمِهِ " } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ [1] .
