Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that on the day of Khaybar, the people were extremely hungry, so they slaughtered and cooked domestic donkeys, filling pots with their meat and began to cook them. When this matter reached the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that the pots be overturned, so we overturned the pots. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty will soon grant you sustenance better and more lawful than this. We overturned the pots that day while they were boiling. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on that day declared as forbidden: the meat of domestic donkeys, mules, every predatory animal with fangs, every bird that hunts with its talons, any animal that has been tied and used as a target, any animal that a predator has seized and it dies, and looted property. He (peace and blessings be upon him) declared all these things forbidden.

Syedna Irbad bin Sariyah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that on the day of Khaybar, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) declared as forbidden every bird that hunts with its talons, the meat of domestic donkeys, any animal killed by a beast of prey, any animal killed by being tied up and used for target practice, and intercourse with pregnant slave women until they give birth. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) declared all these things to be unlawful.

Syedna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the day of Khaybar declared every predatory animal with fangs, animals killed by being shot (as targets), and domestic donkeys to be forbidden.

Sayyiduna Miqdam bin Ma’dikarib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that we participated in a battle during the summer with Sayyiduna Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with him). Our companions greatly desired to eat meat, so they said:“Do you permit us to slaughter a mare?”He gave them permission and they tied them with ropes. Then I said:“Wait, I will go to Sayyiduna Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) and ask him.”I asked him, and he said:“We participated in the Battle of Khaybar with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The people advanced very quickly towards the Jews’ fortresses. The Prophet ordered me to call out to gather the people: ‘As-Salatu Jami’ah’ and to say that only a Muslim will enter Paradise. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘O people! You have shown great haste in advancing towards the Jews’ fortresses. Beware! The wealth of the dhimmis is not lawful for you except with due right, and the meat of domestic donkeys, horses, and mules is forbidden for you, as is every predatory animal with fangs and every bird that hunts with its talons.’”

(Second chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the meat of horses, mules, and donkeys.

(Third chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Miqdam bin Ma'dikarib (may Allah be pleased with him): I participated in a battle with Sayyiduna Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) during the summer season, then narrated a text similar to the one in the first chain.

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade every predatory animal with fangs, every bird that hunts with its talons, the price of carrion, the meat of domesticated donkeys, the earnings of a fornicating woman, taking payment for the mating of a bull, and the use of a red saddlecloth.
