Narrated Abu Qatada: We were in the company of the Prophet at a place called Al-Qaha (which is at a distance of three stages of journey from Medina). Abu Qatada narrated through another group of narrators: We were in the company of the Prophet at a place called Al-Qaha and some of us had assumed Ihram while the others had not. I noticed that some of my companions were watching something, so I looked up and saw an onager. (I rode my horse and took the spear and whip) but my whip fell down (and I asked them to pick it up for me) but they said, We will not help you by any means as we are in a state of Ihram. So, I picked up the whip myself and attacked the onager from behind a hillock and slaughtered it and brought it to my companions. Some of them said, Eat it. While some others said, Do not eat it. So, I went to the Prophet who was ahead of us and asked him about it, He replied, Eat it as it is Halal (i.e. it is legal to eat it).

He sent a batch of his companions by another route and Abu Qatada was one of them. The Prophet said to them, Proceed along the seashore till we meet all together. So, they took the route of the seashore, and when they started all of them assumed Ihram except Abu Qatada. While they were proceeding on, his companions saw a group of onagers. Abu Qatada chased the onagers and attacked and wounded a sheonager. They got down and ate some of its meat and said to each other: How do we eat the meat of the game while we are in a state of Ihram? So, we (they) carried the rest of the she-onager's meat, and when they met Allah's Apostle they asked, saying, O Allah's Apostle! We assumed Ihram with the exception of Abu Qatada and we saw (a group) of onagers. Abu Qatada attacked them and wounded a she-onager from them. Then we got down and ate from its meat. Later, we said, (to each other), 'How do we eat the meat of the game and we are in a state of Ihram?' So, we carried the rest of its meat. The Prophet asked, Did anyone of you order Abu Qatada to attack it or point at it? They replied in the negative. He said, Then eat what is left of its meat.
