Narrated Abu Qatada: I was with the Prophet on a journey between Mecca and Medina; and all of them; i.e. the Prophet ﷺ and his companions were in the state of Ihram; while I was not in that state. I was riding my horse and I used to be fond of ascending mountains. So while I was doing so I noticed that the people were looking at something. I went to see what it was; and behold it was an onager. I asked my companions; What is that? They said; We do not know. I said; It is an onager. They said; It is what you have seen. I had left my whip; so I said to them; Hand to me my whip. They said; We will not help you in that in hunting the onager. I got down; took my whip and chased the animal on my horse and did not stop till I killed it. I went to them and said; Come on; carry it! But they said; We will not even touch it. At last I alone carried it and brought it to them. Some of them ate of it and some refused to eat of it. I said to them ; I will ask the Prophet ﷺ about it on your behalf. When I met the Prophet; I told him the whole story. He said to me; Has anything of it been left with you? I said; Yes. He said; Eat; for it is a meal Allah has offered to you.
