It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The meat of land game is lawful for you (even in the state of ihram), as long as you do not hunt it yourselves and it has not been hunted for you." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he asked Sayyiduna Zayd bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him): "O Zayd bin Arqam, do you know that ostrich eggs were presented as a gift to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was in the state of ihram, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) returned them?" He replied: "Yes." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

Abd al-Rahman bin Abdullah bin Abi Ammar relates: I met Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked him about the hyena (dabu'): may we eat it? He said: "Yes." I asked: "Is it counted as game?" He said: "Yes." I asked: "Did you hear this from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He replied: "Yes." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) relates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ruled that a person in ihram who kills a hyena (dabu') must give a Najdi ram as compensation, and he declared it to be game.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The hyena (dabu') is game, so when a person in ihram kills it, its compensation is a mature ram, and it may be eaten." This hadith is sahih (authentic), and the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it. Ibrahim bin Maymun al-Sa'igh was an ascetic scholar who attained the rank of martyrdom.
