Yahya related to me from Malik, from Ibn Shihab, from Ubaydullah
ibn Abdullah ibn Utba ibn Masud, from Abdullah ibn Abbas, that as-Sab
ibn Jaththama al-Laythi once gave a wild ass to the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, while he was at al-
Abwa, or Waddan, and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, gave it back to him. However, when the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, saw the expression on
the man's face he said, "We only gave it back to you because we are in
ihram."
Muwatta Malik Book 20, Hadith 85

Yahya related to me from Malik, from Zayd ibn Aslam, from Ata ibn
Yasar, that Kab al-Ahbar was once coming back from Syria with a group
of riders, and at a certain point along the road they found some game-
meat and Kab said they could eat it. When they got back to Madina they
went to Umar ibn al-Khattab and told him about that, and he said, "Who
told you you could do that?", and they said, ''Kab.'' He said, "He was
indeed the one I made amir over you until you should return."

Abd ar-Rahman ibn Amir ibn Rabia said, "I once saw Uthman ibn Affan in
ihram on a hot summer's day at al-Arj,and he had covered his face with
a red woollen cloth. Some game-meat was brought to him and he told his
companions to eat. They said, 'Will you not eat then?', and he said,
'I am not in the same position as you. It was hunted for my sake.' "
