Narrated 'Abdullah bin Abu Qatada: My father set out (for Mecca)in the
year of Al-Hudaibiya, and his companions assumed Ihram, but he did
not. At that time the Prophet was informed that an enemy wanted to
attack him, so the Prophet proceeded onwards. While my father was
among his companions, some of them laughed among themselves. (My
father said), "I looked up and saw an onager. I attacked, stabbed and
caught it. I then sought my companions' help butthey refused to help
me. (Later) we all ate its meat. We were afraid that we might be left
behind (separated) from the Prophet so I went in search of the Prophet
and made my horse to run at a galloping speed at times and let it go
slow at an ordinary speed at other times till I met a man from the
tribeof Bani Ghifar at midnight. I asked him,"Where did you leave
theProphet ?" He replied, "I left him at Ta'hun and he had the
intention of having the midday rest atAs-Suqya. I followed the trace
and joined the Prophet and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Your people
(companions) send you their compliments, and (ask for) Allah's
Blessings upon you. They are afraid lest they may be left behind; so
please wait for them.' I added, 'O Allah's Apostle! I hunted an onager
and some of its meat is with me. The Prophet told the people to eat it
though all of them were in the state of Ihram."

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Abu Qatada: That his father said "We proceeded
with the Prophet in the year of Al-Hudaibiya and his companions
assumed Ihram but I did not. We were informed that someenemies were at
Ghaiqa and so we went on towards them. My companions saw an onager and
some of them started laughing among themselves. I looked and saw it. I
chased it with my horse and stabbed and caught it. I wanted some help
from my companions but they refused. (I slaughtered it all alone). We
all ate from it (i.e. its meat). Then I followed Allah's Apostle lest
we should be left behind. At times I urged my horse torun at a
galloping speed and at other times at an ordinary slow speed. On the
way I met a man from the tribe of Bani Ghifar at midnight. I asked him
where he had left Allah's Apostle . The man replied that he had left
the Prophet at a place called Ta'hun and he had the intention of
having the midday rest atAs-Suqya. So, I followed Allah's Apostle till
I reached him and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have been sent by my
companions who send you their greetings and compliments and ask for
Allah's Mercy and Blessings upon you. They were afraid lest the enemy
might intervene between you and them; so please wait for them." So he
did. Then I said, "O Allah's Apostle! We have hunted an onager and
have some of it (i.e. its meat) left over." Allah's Apostle told his
companions to eat the meat although all of them were in a state of
Ihram."

Narrated Abu Qatada: We were in the company of the Prophet at a place
called Al-Qaha (which is at a distance of three stages of journey from
Medina). Abu Qatada narrated through another group of narrators: We
were in the company of the Prophet at a place called Al-Qaha and some
of us had assumed Ihram while the others had not.I noticed that some
of mycompanions were watching something, so Ilooked up and saw an
onager. (I rode my horse and took the spear and whip) but my whip fell
down (and I asked them to pick it up for me) but they said, "We will
not help you by any means aswe are in a state of Ihram." So, I picked
up the whip myself and attacked the onager from behind a hillock and
slaughtered it and brought it to my companions. Some of them said,
"Eat it." While some others said, "Do noteat it." So, I went to the
Prophet who was ahead of us and asked him about it, He replied, "Eat
it as it is Halal (i.e. it is legal to eat it)."

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Abu Qatada: That his father had told him that
Allah's Apostle set out for Hajj and so did his companions. He sent a
batch of his companions by another route and Abu Qatada was one of
them. The Prophet said to them, "Proceed along the sea-shore till we
meet all together." So, they took the route of the sea-shore, and when
they started all of them assumed Ihram except Abu Qatada. While they
were proceeding on, his companions saw a groupof onagers. Abu Qatada
chased the onagers and attacked and wounded a she-onager. They got
down and ate some of itsmeat and said to each other: "How do we eat
the meat of the game while we are in a state ofIhram?" So, we (they)
carried the rest of the she-onager's meat, and when they met Allah's
Apostle they asked, saying, "O Allah's Apostle!We assumed Ihram with
the exception of Abu Qatada and we saw (a group) of onagers. Abu
Qatada attacked them and wounded a she-onager from them. Then we got
down and ate from its meat. Later, we said, (to each other), 'How do
we eat the meat of the game and we are in a state of Ihram?' So, we
carried the rest of its meat. The Prophet asked,"Did anyone of you
orderAbu Qatada to attack it orpoint at it?" They replied in the
negative. He said,"Then eat what is left of its meat."

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas: From As-Sa'b bin Jath-thama Al-Laithi
that the latter presented an onager to Allah's Apostle while he was at
Al-Abwa' or at Waddan, and he refused it. On noticing the signs of
some unpleasant feeling of disappointment on his(As-Sab's) face, the
Prophet said to him, "I have only returned it because I am Muhrim."

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: Allah's Apostle said, "It is not sinful
of a Muhrim to kill five kinds of animals."

One of the wives of the Prophet narrated: The Prophet said, "A Muhrim
can kill (five kinds of animals.)"

to kill five kinds of animals, namely: the crow, the kite, the mouse,
