Narrated Abu Qatada: Once; while I was sitting with the companions of the Prophet ﷺ at a station on the road to Mecca and Allah Messenger ﷺ was stationing ahead of us and all the people were assuming Ihram while I was not. My companion; saw an onager while I was busy Mending my shoes. They did not Inform me of the onager but they wished that I would see it Suddenly I looked and saw the onager Then I headed towards my horse; saddled it and rode; but I forgot to take the lash and the spear. So I said to them my companions ; Give me the lash and the spear. But they said; No; by Allah we will not help you in any way to hunt it I got angry; dismounted; took it the spear and the lash ; rode the horse chased the onager and wounded it Then I brought it when it had dyed. My companions started eating of its cooked meat; but they suspected that it might be unlawful to eat of its meat while they were in a state of Ihram Then I proceeded further and I kept one of its forelegs with me. When we met Allah Apostle we asked him about that. He said; Have you some of its meat with you? I gave him that foreleg and he ate the meat till he stripped the bone of its flesh although he was in a state of Ihram.
