'Abdullah bin Abu Qatadah (RA) reported on the authority of his father (RA): The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) set out for Pilgrimage and we also set out along with him. He (Abu Qatadah (RA)) said: There proceeded on some of his Companions and Abu Qatadah (RA) was (one of them). He, (the Holy Prophet) said: You proceed along the coastline till you meet me. He (Abu Qatadah (RA)) said: So they proceeded ahead of the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) of God ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) , all of them had entered upon the state of Ihram, except Abu Qatadah (RA); he had not put on Ihram. As they went on they saw a wild ass, and Abu Qatadah (RA) attacked it and cut off its hind legs. They got down and ate its meat. They said: We ate meat in the state of Ihram. They carried the meat that was left of it. As they came to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) they said: Messenger of Allah, we were in the state of Ihram where as Abu Qatadah (RA) was not. We saw a wild ass and Abu Qatadah (RA) attacked it and cut off its hind legs. We got down and ate its meat and we thus ate the meat of a game while we were in the state of Ihram. We have (carried to you) what was left out of its meat. Thereupon he (the holy Prophet) said: Did anyone among you command him (to hunt) or point to him with anything (to do so)? They said: No. Thereupon he said: Then eat what is left out of its meat.
