domesticated donkeys.
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 27, Hadith 32
← Previous Hadith
“I asked ‘Abdullah bin
Abu
Awfa about the flesh of domesticated donkeys and he said: ‘We were
starving on the Day of Khaibar, when we were with the Prophet (ﷺ).
The people had gotten some donkeys as spoils of war on the way out
from Al-Madinah, so we slaughtered them and our cooking pots were
boiling when the caller of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) cried out,
telling us to overturn out pots and not to eat anything of the flesh
of donkeys. So we overturned them.’ I said to ‘Abdullah bin Abu
Awfa:
‘Was it made unlawful?’ He said: ‘We think that the
Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) forbade it altogether because it eats
excrement.’”
