Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The game of the land has been made lawful for you while you are in the state of ihram, as long as you did not hunt it yourself, nor was it hunted for you."

Abdullah bin Abu Qatadah narrates from his father (Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah, may Allah be pleased with him): On the occasion of Hudaybiyyah, I set out with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) (to perform ‘Umrah). My companions put on the Ihram, but I did not put on the Ihram. I saw a wild donkey and attacked it, hunting it. Then I related this incident to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), mentioning that I was not in the state of Ihram at that time and that I hunted it for you. So the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered his companions, and those gentlemen ate that meat, but the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) did not eat it because I had informed him that I hunted it for him. The wording of the narration is:“I hunted it for you.”And the words stating that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) did not eat it are mentioned only by the narrator named Mu‘ammar (may Allah have mercy on him). All Muslims agree that this statement of Allah is a decisive verse:“O you who believe! Do not kill game while you are in the state of Ihram.”

Yahya bin Abdur Rahman narrates from his father: He, along with some other people, performed ‘Umrah with Sayyiduna ‘Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him). A bird was presented to Sayyiduna ‘Uthman, so he told the other people to eat it, but he himself refused to eat it. Sayyiduna ‘Amr bin al-‘As said to him:“Should we eat something which you are not eating?”Sayyiduna ‘Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) replied:“My position regarding this is not like yours; it was hunted for me.”
