Sahih al-Bukhari 5497 (Book 72, Hadith 23) #5273
Prohibiting Donkey Meat Consumption

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) prohibited the consumption of donkey meat and instructed to throw away the contents of the cooking pots and break them.

Narrated Salama bin Al-Aqwa': In the evening of the day of the conquest of Khaibar, the army made fires (for cooking). The Prophet said, "For what have you made these fires?" They said, "For cooking the meat of domestic donkeys". He said, "Throw away what is in the cooking pots and break the pots". A man from the people got up and said, "Shall we throw the contents of the cooking pots and then wash the pots (instead of breaking them)?" The Prophet said, "Yes, you can do either'.
حَدَّثَنَا الْمَكِّيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الأَكْوَعِ، قَالَ لَمَّا أَمْسَوْا يَوْمَ فَتَحُوا خَيْبَرَ أَوْقَدُوا النِّيرَانَ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ عَلَى مَا أَوْقَدْتُمْ هَذِهِ النِّيرَانَ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالُوا لُحُومِ الْحُمُرِ الإِنْسِيَّةِ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَهْرِيقُوا مَا فِيهَا، وَاكْسِرُوا قُدُورَهَا ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ فَقَالَ نُهَرِيقُ مَا فِيهَا وَنَغْسِلُهَا‏.‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ أَوْ ذَاكَ
