Consumption of Horse Meat Ordered by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) forbade the consumption of donkey meat and ordered the consumption of horse meat.

Jabir b. 'Abd Allah said: On the day of Khaibar the Messenger of Allah forbade us to eat the flesh of domestic asses, and ordered us to eat horse-flesh'.Amr said: I informed Abu al-Sha’tha’ about this tradition. He said: Al-Hakam al-Ghifari among us said this, and the" ocean" denied that, intending thereby Ibn’ Abbas.
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ حَسَنٍ الْمِصِّيصِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي رَجُلٌ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ عَنْ أَنْ نَأْكُلَ لُحُومَ الْحُمُرِ وَأَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَأْكُلَ لُحُومَ الْخَيْلِ قَالَ عَمْرٌو فَأَخْبَرْتُ هَذَا الْخَبَرَ أَبَا الشَّعْثَاءِ فَقَالَ قَدْ كَانَ الْحَكَمُ الْغِفَارِيُّ فِينَا يَقُولُ هَذَا وَأَبَى ذَلِكَ الْبَحْرُ يُرِيدُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
On the day of Khaibar, which was a battle between Muslims and Jews in 629 CE, Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) forbade his followers from eating donkey meat and instead ordered them to eat horse-flesh. This is because horses were considered to be more noble animals than donkeys at that time. 'Amr reported this tradition to Abu al-Shatha who then mentioned that Al-Hakam al-Ghifari among them said this but Ibn Abbas denied it. This hadith teaches us that we should respect all animals regardless of their status or nobility as they are all creations of Allah SWT. We should also follow the teachings and orders given by our beloved prophet without any hesitation or doubt as he was sent by Allah SWT as a mercy for mankind.
