It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Tha’labah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about the pots of the People of the Book. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If you do not find any other vessels except those, then wash them and you may cook food in them. Then he asked about the meat of donkeys, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade it and also forbade every predatory animal that hunts with its canine teeth.
