It was narrated that Abu Tha'labah said: "The Prophet (s.a.w) forbade eating any wild animal with fangs." Ishaq and Ibn Abi 'Umar added in their Hadith: "Az-Zuhri said: 'We did not hear this until we came to Ash-Sham.'"

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ ، قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ : أَخْبَرَنَا ، وقَالَ الآخَرَانِ : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ ، عَنْ أَبِي ثَعْلَبَةَ ، قَالَ : نَهَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ أَكْلِ كُلِّ ذِي نَابٍ مِنَ السَّبُعِ. زَادَ إِسْحَاقُ ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ فِي حَدِيثِهِمَا ، قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ : وَلَمْ نَسْمَعْ بِهَذَا حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا الشَّامَ.

It was narrated from Abu Idris Al-Khawlani that he heard Abu Tha'labah Al-Khushani say: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) forbade eating any wild animal with fangs." Ibn Shihab said: "I did not hear that from our scholars in the Hijaz, until Abu Idris, who was one of the Fuqaha' (scholar) of Ash-Sham, narrated it to me."

وحَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلاَنِيِّ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيَّ ، يَقُولُ: نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ أَكْلِ كُلِّ ذِي نَابٍ مِنَ السِّبَاعِ.قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ: وَلَمْ أَسْمَعْ ذَلِكَ مِنْ عُلَمَائِنَا بِالْحِجَازِ حَتَّى حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو إِدْرِيسَ ، وَكَانَ مِنْ فُقَهَاءِ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ.

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) forbade (eating) every wild animal with fangs and every bird with talons."

وَحَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ ، عَنْ مَيْمُونِ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ كُلِّ ذِي نَابٍ مِنَ السِّبَاعِ ، وَعَنْ كُلِّ ذِي مِخْلَبٍ مِنَ الطَّيْرِ.

It was narrated that Jabir said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) sent us on an expedition and appointed Abu 'Ubaidah in charge of us, to intercept a caravan of the Quraish. He supplied us with a bag of dates, and we had no other provisions apart from that. Abu 'Ubaidah used to give them to us, one date at a time." He (the narrator) said: "I said: 'What did you do with it?' He said: 'We used to suck it like a child, then drink water after that, and it would suffice us for that day until night. And we used to knock down leaves with our sticks, then soak them in water and eat them. We set off along the coast and there appeared before us on the shore something like a huge mound. We came to it and saw that it was a beast called Al' Anbar (sperm whale). Abu 'Ubaidah said: "It is dead meat." Then he said: "No, we are the envoys of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), (striving) in the cause of Allah, and we are compelled (by hunger); eat." We lived on it for a month, three hundred of us, until we grew fat. And I remember that we extracted pitchers of fat from its eye socket, and we cut out pieces of meat like that of a bull. Abu 'Ubaidah called out thirteen of us and made them sit in its eye socket, and he took one of its ribs and set it up, then he saddled the largest camel we had with us and passed beneath it. And we supplied ourselves with preserved pieces of its meat. When we reached Al-Madinah, we came to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and told him all of that. He said: "It is provision that Allah brought forth for you. Do you have any of its meat with you that you can give us to eat?" We sent some of it to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and he ate it."'

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ (ح) وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، قَالَ : بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَمَّرَ عَلَيْنَا أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ ، نَتَلَقَّى عِيرًا لِقُرَيْشٍ ، وَزَوَّدَنَا جِرَابًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ لَمْ يَجِدْ لَنَا غَيْرَهُ ، فَكَانَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ يُعْطِينَا تَمْرَةً تَمْرَةً ، قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ : كَيْفَ كُنْتُمْ تَصْنَعُونَ بِهَا ؟ قَالَ : نَمَصُّهَا كَمَا يَمَصُّ الصَّبِيُّ ، ثُمَّ نَشْرَبُ عَلَيْهَا مِنَ الْمَاءِ ، فَتَكْفِينَا يَوْمَنَا إِلَى اللَّيْلِ ، وَكُنَّا نَضْرِبُ بِعِصِيِّنَا الْخَبَطَ ، ثُمَّ نَبُلُّهُ بِالْمَاءِ فَنَأْكُلُهُ ، قَالَ : وَانْطَلَقْنَا عَلَى سَاحِلِ الْبَحْرِ ، فَرُفِعَ لَنَا عَلَى سَاحِلِ الْبَحْرِ كَهَيْئَةِ الْكَثِيبِ الضَّخْمِ ، فَأَتَيْنَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ دَابَّةٌ تُدْعَى الْعَنْبَرَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ : مَيْتَةٌ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : لاَ ، بَلْ نَحْنُ رُسُلُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَفِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ ، وَقَدِ اضْطُرِرْتُمْ فَكُلُوا ، قَالَ : فَأَقَمْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَهْرًا وَنَحْنُ ثَلاَثُ مِئَةٍ حَتَّى سَمِنَّا ، قَالَ : وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا نَغْتَرِفُ مِنْ وَقْبِ عَيْنِهِ بِالْقِلاَلِ الدُّهْنَ ، وَنَقْتَطِعُ مِنْهُ الْفِدَرَ كَالثَّوْرِ ، أَوْ كَقَدْرِ الثَّوْرِ ، فَلَقَدْ أَخَذَ مِنَّا أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ ثَلاَثَةَ عَشَرَ رَجُلاً ، فَأَقْعَدَهُمْ فِي وَقْبِ عَيْنِهِ ، وَأَخَذَ ضِلَعًا مِنْ أَضْلاَعِهِ فَأَقَامَهَا ثُمَّ رَحَلَ أَعْظَمَ بَعِيرٍ مَعَنَا ، فَمَرَّ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا وَتَزَوَّدْنَا مِنْ لَحْمِهِ وَشَائِقَ ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لَهُ ، فَقَالَ : هُوَ رِزْقٌ أَخْرَجَهُ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ ، فَهَلْ مَعَكُمْ مِنْ لَحْمِهِ شَيْءٌ فَتُطْعِمُونَا ؟ قَالَ : فَأَرْسَلْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْهُ فَأَكَلَهُ.

'Amr heard Jabir bin 'Abdullah say: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) sent us, three hundred riders, with Abu 'Ubaidah bin Al-Jarrah in charge, to keep a lookout for the caravan of the Quraish. We stayed on the coast for half a month, and we were stricken with such intense hunger that we ate leaves, and it was called the Army of Leaves. Then the sea threw out to us a beast called Al-'Anbar (sperm whale) and we ate from it for half a month and rubbed its fat on our bodies, until our bodies grew strong. Abu 'Ubaidah took one of its ribs and set it up, then he looked for the tallest man in the army and the tallest camel. He mounted the man on the camel, and he passed beneath it. And a number of men sat in its eye socket, and we extracted such and such number of pitchers of fat from its eye socket. 'Abu 'Ubaidah used to give each one of us a handful of dates at a time, then he gave us one date at a time, and when he ran out we felt its loss."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، قَالَ : سَمِعَ عَمْرٌو ، جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، يَقُولُ: بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَحْنُ ثَلاَثُ مِئَةِ رَاكِبٍ ، وَأَمِيرُنَا أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ ، نَرْصُدُ عِيرًا لِقُرَيْشٍ ، فَأَقَمْنَا بِالسَّاحِلِ نِصْفَ شَهْرٍ ، فَأَصَابَنَا جُوعٌ شَدِيدٌ حَتَّى أَكَلْنَا الْخَبَطَ ، فَسُمِّيَ جَيْشَ الْخَبَطِ ، فَأَلْقَى لَنَا الْبَحْرُ دَابَّةً يُقَالُ لَهَا الْعَنْبَرُ ، فَأَكَلْنَا مِنْهَا نِصْفَ شَهْرٍ ، وَادَّهَنَّا مِنْ وَدَكِهَا حَتَّى ثَابَتْ أَجْسَامُنَا ، قَالَ : فَأَخَذَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ ضِلَعًا مِنْ أَضْلاَعِهِ فَنَصَبَهُ ، ثُمَّ نَظَرَ إِلَى أَطْوَلِ رَجُلٍ فِي الْجَيْشِ وَأَطْوَلِ جَمَلٍ فَحَمَلَهُ عَلَيْهِ ، فَمَرَّ تَحْتَهُ ، قَالَ : وَجَلَسَ فِي حَجَاجِ عَيْنِهِ نَفَرٌ ، قَالَ: وَأَخْرَجْنَا مِنْ وَقْبِ عَيْنِهِ كَذَا وَكَذَا قُلَّةَ وَدَكٍ ، قَالَ: وَكَانَ مَعَنَا جِرَابٌ مِنْ تَمْرٍ ، فَكَانَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ يُعْطِي كُلَّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا قَبْضَةً قَبْضَةً ، ثُمَّ أَعْطَانَا تَمْرَةً تَمْرَةً ، فَلَمَّا فَنِيَ وَجَدْنَا فَقْدَهُ.

It was narrated that Jabir bin 'Abdullah said: "The Prophet (s.a.w) sent us, three hundred men, and we carried our provision slung around our necks."

وحَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ ، يَعْنِي ابْنَ سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، قَالَ:بَعَثَنَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَحْنُ ثَلَاثُمِائَةٍ نَحْمِلُ أَزْوَادَنَا عَلَى رِقَابِنَا.

Jabir bin ' Abdullah narrated: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) sent an expedition, three hundred strong, and appointed Abu 'Ubaidah bin Al-Jarrah in charge of them. Their provisions ran short, so Abu 'Ubaidah collected their provisions in a bag and fed us from it each day, until the ration was reduced to one date each every day."

وحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي نُعَيْمٍ وَهْبِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ ، أَنَّ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، أَخْبَرَهُ ، قَالَ : بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَرِيَّةً ثَلاَثَ مِائَةٍ ، وَأَمَّرَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ الْجَرَّاحِ ، فَفَنِيَ زَادُهُمْ ، فَجَمَعَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ زَادَهُمْ فِي مِزْوَدٍ ، فَكَانَ يُقَوِّتُنَا حَتَّى كَانَ يُصِيبُنَا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ تَمْرَةٌ.

Jabir bin 'Abdullah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) sent an expedition, of whom I was one, to the coast..." and they (the narrators) all quoted a Hadith like that of 'Amr bin Dinar and Abu Az-Zubair except that in the Hadith of Wahb bin Kaisan (no. 5002) it says: "The army ate from it for eighteen days."

وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ ، يَعْنِي ابْنَ كَثِيرٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ وَهْبَ بْنَ كَيْسَانَ ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، يَقُولُ: بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَرِيَّةً أَنَا فِيهِمْ إِلَى سِيفِ الْبَحْرِ ، وَسَاقُوا جَمِيعًا بَقِيَّةَ الْحَدِيثِ كَنَحْوِ حَدِيثِ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ ، وَأَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، غَيْرَ أَنَّ فِي حَدِيثِ وَهْبِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ : فَأَكَلَ مِنْهَا الْجَيْشُ ثَمَانِيَ عَشْرَةَ لَيْلَةً.

It was narrated that Ash-Shaibani said: "I asked 'Abdullah bin Abi Awfa about the meat of domesticated donkeys. He said: 'We were stricken with hunger on the Day of Khaibar, when we were with the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), and the people had captured some donkeys outside Al-Madinah. So we slaughtered them, and the cooking pots were boiling, when the caller of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) cried out that the cooking pots should be overturned and nothing of the donkey meat should be eaten.' I said: "What kind of prohibition was it?"' He said: 'We talked about that amongst ourselves, did he (s.a.w) prohibit it forever or did he prohibit it because it had not been distributed as it should have been (i.e., with the Khumus being taken out before the booty was divided)?"'

وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ ، عَنِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ أَبِي أَوْفَى عَنْ لُحُومِ الْحُمُرِ الأَهْلِيَّةِ ، فَقَالَ: أَصَابَتْنَا مَجَاعَةٌ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ وَنَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَقَدْ أَصَبْنَا لِلْقَوْمِ حُمُرًا خَارِجَةً مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ ، فَنَحَرْنَاهَا ، فَإِنَّ قُدُورَنَا لَتَغْلِي ، إِذْ نَادَى مُنَادِي رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنِ اكْفَؤُوا الْقُدُورَ ، وَلاَ تَطْعَمُوا مِنْ لُحُومِ الْحُمُرِ شَيْئًا ، فَقُلْتُ: حَرَّمَهَا تَحْرِيمَ مَاذَا ؟ قَالَ: تَحَدَّثْنَا بَيْنَنَا ، فَقُلْنَا : حَرَّمَهَا الْبَتَّةَ ، وَحَرَّمَهَا مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهَا لَمْ تُخَمَّسْ.

Sulaiman Ash-Shaibani said: "I heard 'Abdullah bin Abi Awfa say: 'On the Day of Khaibar we fell upon some domesticated donkeys and slaughtered them. When the cooking pots were boiling, the caller of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) cried out (saying): "Overturn the cooking pots and do not eat any of the donkey meat." Some people said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) has only forbidden it because it has not been distributed as it should have been (i.e., with the Khumus being taken out before the booty was divided)," and others said: "He has forbidden it forever."

وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ فُضَيْلُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ ، يَعْنِي ابْنَ زِيَادٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ أَبِي أَوْفَى ، يَقُولُ : أَصَابَتْنَا مَجَاعَةٌ لَيَالِيَ خَيْبَرَ ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ خَيْبَرَ وَقَعْنَا فِي الْحُمُرِ الأَهْلِيَّةِ ، فَانْتَحَرْنَاهَا ، فَلَمَّا غَلَتْ بِهَا الْقُدُورُ ، نَادَى مُنَادِي رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنِ اكْفَؤُوا الْقُدُورَ ، وَلاَ تَأْكُلُوا مِنْ لُحُومِ الْحُمُرِ شَيْئًا ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ نَاسٌ : إِنَّمَا نَهَى عَنْهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لأَنَّهَا لَمْ تُخَمَّسْ ، وَقَالَ آخَرُونَ : نَهَى عَنْهَا الْبَتَّةَ.
