Abdur Rahman bin Uthman Taimi narrates: We were with Sayyiduna Talha bin Ubaidullah (may Allah be pleased with him) when game meat was presented to him. At that time, those people were in the state of Ihram and Sayyiduna Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) was sleeping. (The narrator says) We refused to eat that meat, until when Sayyiduna Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) woke up, we informed him: You were given a gift. Sayyiduna Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: Then what was the reason you did not eat it? The people replied: We were waiting so that we could see what you say about it. So Sayyiduna Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We ate such a thing with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so you all eat as well. (The narrator says) So the people ate it, and Sayyiduna Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) also ate it.

Mu’adh bin Abdur Rahman Taymi narrates from his father: We were going for Hajj with Sayyiduna Talhah bin Ubaidullah (may Allah be pleased with him). We were in the state of Ihram when a bird was given to us as a gift. Sayyiduna Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) was sleeping at that time. Some of us ate its meat and some abstained and did not eat it. When Sayyiduna Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) woke up, we mentioned this matter to him. He sided with those who had eaten its meat and Sayyiduna Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We ate the meat of this (game) in the company of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) I do not deny that Ibn al-Munkadir may have heard this narration from Abdur Rahman bin Uthman Taymi, and he heard this narration from the son of Abdur Rahman, from his father. So once he narrated it from Mu’adh and another time from his father.

Abdullah bin Abu Qatadah narrates: Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) was present with some people who were in the state of Ihram, while Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) was not in Ihram. The people saw a wild donkey (i.e., a zebra), but they did not inform Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) about it, until Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) himself saw it. He was sitting on his horse, took a stick from one of those gentlemen, attacked the zebra and killed it. Then he brought its (meat) to those gentlemen, and they ate it and also kept some of its meat with them. When they met the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), those gentlemen asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about the action of Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Did any of you point towards (the prey) or order him (to hunt)?" They replied: "No." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then you may eat it."

Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah bin Rabi’i (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: He was with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) until, on the way to Makkah, at a certain place, he and his companions lagged behind (from the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). His companions had put on ihram, but Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) had not put on ihram. Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) saw a wild donkey (i.e., a zebra), so he mounted his horse and requested his companions to hand him his stick, but his companions did not agree to this. Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked them for a spear, but they did not give that either. Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) took it himself, then attacked the zebra and killed it. Some of the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ate its meat, and some did not eat its meat. When these people reached the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), they asked him about this matter. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: This is food which Allah Almighty has fed you.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) to collect Zakat. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his companions set out wearing Ihram, until they camped in the valley called "Ghazzal" near "Usfan." There was a wild donkey (i.e., a zebra) present there. Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) came; he had not put on Ihram at that time. The other companions, disliking this, lowered their heads so that Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) would not notice (the animal) by following their gaze. Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) also saw (the animal). He mounted his horse and took his spear. His stick fell down, so he said: "Hand this to me." We said: "We will not help you in any way regarding this." So Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) attacked it and killed it. The narrator says: Then he roasted some of its meat. They said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is among us. (The narrator says) The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had gone ahead at that time. They went to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked him about this. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not see any harm in it. (The narrator says) I think these words are also in the narration: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you have any of it (some meat) with you?" This doubt is from the narrator named Ubaydullah.

Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I set out with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him); all the other people had put on Ihram except me. We saw a wild donkey (i.e., a zebra), so I put a saddle on (my horse), put on the bridle, and mounted it. I took hold of a spear, but forgot to pick up a stick. I said to my companions: Hand me the stick, but they did not comply with my request. I got down from the horse, picked up my stick, then attacked the zebra and killed it. Some people ate its meat and some did not. When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) arrived, he said: Those who ate its meat did the right thing. Do you have any part of its meat with you? We said: Yes, here is a leg. So the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ate it.

Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by me while I was lighting a fire under my cooking pot, and lice were falling from my head. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Are the lice on your head causing you trouble?" I replied: "Yes." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then offer a sacrifice, or fast for three days, or feed six needy people (and shave your head)."

Sayyiduna Ka’b bin ‘Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by him while he was present at Hudaybiyyah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him:“Are the lice on your head troubling you?”I replied:“Yes.”So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered me to shave my head. The narrator states: It was not clear to the people that they would have to shave their heads there; they wished to enter Makkah. The narrator states: Then the verse regarding fidyah (compensation) was revealed. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered me to either fast for three days, or distribute one faraq (a specific measure of grain) among six needy people, or slaughter a goat.

Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: During Hudaybiyyah, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by me while I was lighting a fire under my cooking pot (the narrator is unsure about one word here), and lice were falling on my face. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: O Ka'b! Are the lice troubling you? I replied: Yes, O Messenger of Allah! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Shave your head and offer a sacrifice, or fast for three days, or feed six needy people one sa' (measure) each.

Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Ujrah narrates a similar narration from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him): however, in this narration, the words are: "You should slaughter a goat."
