It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abi Qatadah that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, entered into the state of Ihram in the year of Hudaybiyyah, while Abu Qatadah had not entered into Ihram. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was informed that the enemy was at the place of Ghaiqah, so he set out. I was with my companions when they began to look at each other and laugh. When I also turned my attention there, I saw a wild donkey. I sought their help, but they refused to help me in hunting it. Nevertheless, I chased it and killed it. We ate its meat, but we feared that we might be attacked (i.e., because our number was small, the enemy might harm us), so I set out in search of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. I would sometimes make my horse run fast and sometimes walk slowly. At night, I met a man from Banu Ghifar. I asked him: At what place did you meet the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him? He informed me that he had left him at the place of Ta‘hin near Suqya. I found the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, at that place and said: O Messenger of Allah! Your companions convey to you their greetings and the mercy of Allah. They feared that the enemy might attack them, so please wait for them here. Thus, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, waited for them there. I said: I had hunted a wild donkey, and a portion of it remains with me. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Eat it. Although they were in the state of Ihram.
