Sahih Muslim 1196b (Book 15, Hadith 62) #9997
Eating Wild Animals Provided by Allah

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a group of companions who were in the state of Ihram, and they saw a wild ass. One of them chased it and killed it, and some ate its meat while others refused. The Messenger of Allah said that it was a food provided by Allah so they should eat it.

Abu Qatada (Allah be pleased with him) reported that while he was with the Messenger of Allah on one of the highways of Mecca, he lagged behind him (the Holy Prophet) along with companions who were in the state of Ihram, whereas he was himself not Muhrim. He saw a wild ass. As he was mounting his horse he asked his companions to pick up for him his whip (which had dropped) but they refused to do so. He asked them to hand him over the spear, but they refused. He then himself took hold of it and chased the wild ass and killed it. Some of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (way peace be upon him) ate (its meat), but some of them refused to do so. They overtook the Messenger of Allah and asked him about it, and he said: It is a food which Allah provided you (so eat it).
وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، فِيمَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِ عَنْ أَبِي النَّضْرِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، مَوْلَى أَبِي قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، - رضى الله عنه - أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ بِبَعْضِ طَرِيقِ مَكَّةَ تَخَلَّفَ مَعَ أَصْحَابٍ لَهُ مُحْرِمِينَ وَهُوَ غَيْرُ مُحْرِمٍ فَرَأَى حِمَارًا وَحْشِيًّا فَاسْتَوَى عَلَى فَرَسِهِ فَسَأَلَ أَصْحَابَهُ أَنْ يُنَاوِلُوهُ سَوْطَهُ فَأَبَوْا عَلَيْهِ فَسَأَلَهُمْ رُمْحَهُ فَأَبَوْا عَلَيْهِ فَأَخَذَهُ ثُمَّ شَدَّ عَلَى الْحِمَارِ فَقَتَلَهُ فَأَكَلَ مِنْهُ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ وَأَبَى بَعْضُهُمْ فَأَدْرَكُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَسَأَلُوهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّمَا هِيَ طُعْمَةٌ أَطْعَمَكُمُوهَا اللَّهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the companions who were in the state of Ihram when they saw a wild ass. One companion chased after it and killed it, but some refused to eat its meat while others did. The Messenger of Allah then said that this was food provided by Allah so they should eat it. This hadith teaches us that we should be thankful for what we have been given from God, even if we don't understand why He has given us something or why He has allowed something to happen to us at first glance. We must trust in His wisdom and accept whatever He gives us with gratitude as everything comes from Him alone. It also teaches us not to judge other people's actions without knowing all the facts first - just because someone does something differently than you doesn't mean that their action is wrong or bad; rather, you must look at the situation objectively before making any judgments or assumptions about someone else's behavior or choices.
