Sahih Muslim 1940b (Book 34, Hadith 50) #12126
Prohibiting the Eating of Donkey Meat

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad prohibited the eating of donkey meat as it was considered impure.

Anas b. Malik reported: When it was the Day of Khaibar a visitor came and said: Messenger of Allah, the asses have been eaten. Then another came and said: Messenger of Allah, the asses are being destroyed. Then Allah's Messenger commanded Abu Talha to make an announcement that Allah and His Messenger have prohibited you (from eating) of the flesh of (domestic) asses, for these are loathsome or impure. He (the narrator) said: The earthen pots were turned over along with what was in them.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مِنْهَالٍ الضَّرِيرُ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ خَيْبَرَ جَاءَ جَاءٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أُكِلَتِ الْحُمُرُ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ جَاءَ آخَرُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أُفْنِيَتِ الْحُمُرُ فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَبَا طَلْحَةَ فَنَادَى إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ يَنْهَيَانِكُمْ عَنْ لُحُومِ الْحُمُرِ فَإِنَّهَا رِجْسٌ أَوْ نَجِسٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَأُكْفِئَتِ الْقُدُورُ بِمَا فِيهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Anas b. Malik tells us that on the Day of Khaibar, a visitor came to Prophet Muhammad and informed him that donkeys were being eaten. Upon hearing this, another visitor came and said that donkeys were being destroyed. In response to this, Prophet Muhammad commanded Abu Talha to make an announcement prohibiting people from eating donkey meat as it was considered impure or loathsome according to Islamic teachings. As a result, all earthen pots containing donkey meat were overturned and emptied out in order for people not to consume it any further. This hadith teaches us about the importance of following Islamic teachings when it comes to food consumption and how we should be mindful of what we eat in order for us not to go against God's will or break any religious laws set forth by Him.
