It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that a rabbit ran off in al-Baqi', and I was among those who ran after it to catch it. I got ahead of everyone and caught it. Then I brought it to Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him), and he ordered it to be slaughtered and roasted. Then he gave me the hindquarter (thigh) of the rabbit and sent me with it to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What is this?" I said: This is the thigh of a rabbit which Abu Talhah has sent for you. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) accepted it. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I used to roast the belly of a goat (or its tripe) for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) would eat from it and then go out to the prayer (without performing ablution again).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I used to roast the belly (meat) of a goat for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while he (peace and blessings be upon him) had already performed ablution for the prayer. He (peace and blessings be upon him) would eat it and then go out to the prayer (without performing ablution again). 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 Safwan bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw me separating meat from the bone with my hand (tearing it off), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "O Safwan!" I said: Here I am at your service. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bring the meat close to your mouth (and bite it off with your teeth), for that is the more enjoyable, pleasant and easily digested way." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
