وَحَدَّثَنَا صَالِحُ بْنُ مِسْمَارٍ السُّلَمِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ حَدَّثَنِى أَبِى عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِى كَثِيرٍ حَدَّثَنِى عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِى قَتَادَةَ قَالَ انْطَلَقَ أَبِى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- عَامَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ فَأَحْرَمَ أَصْحَابُهُ وَلَمْ يُحْرِمْ وَحُدِّثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- أَنَّ عَدُوًّا بِغَيْقَةَ فَانْطَلَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- - قَالَ - فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا مَعَ أَصْحَابِهِ يَضْحَكُ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ إِذْ نَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِحِمَارِ وَحْشٍ فَحَمَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَطَعَنْتُهُ فَأَثْبَتُّهُ فَاسْتَعَنْتُهُمْ فَأَبَوْا أَنْ يُعِينُونِى فَأَكَلْنَا مِنْ لَحْمِهِ وَخَشِينَا أَنْ نُقْتَطَعَ فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَطْلُبُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- أُرَفِّعُ فَرَسِى شَأْوًا وَأَسِيرُ شَأْوًا فَلَقِيتُ رَجُلاً مِنْ بَنِى غِفَارٍ فِى جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ فَقُلْتُ أَيْنَ لَقِيتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَالَ تَرَكْتُهُ بِتِعْهِنَ وَهُوَ قَائِلٌ السُّقْيَا فَلَحِقْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَصْحَابَكَ يَقْرَءُونَ عَلَيْكَ السَّلاَمَ وَرَحْمَةَ اللَّهِ وَإِنَّهُمْ قَدْ خَشُوا أَنْ يُقْتَطَعُوا دُونَكَ انْتَظِرْهُمْ. فَانْتَظَرَهُمْ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّى أَصَدْتُ وَمَعِى مِنْهُ فَاضِلَةٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- لِلْقَوْمِ « كُلُوا ». وَهُمْ مُحْرِمُونَ.

Abdullah bin Abi Qatadah said: “My father set out with the Messenger of Allah (SAW) during the year of Al-Hudaybiyah, and his companions entered Ihram but he did not. The Messenger of Allah (SAW) was told that there was an enemy in Ghaiqah, so the Messenger of Allah (SAW) set out.” He said: “While I was with his Companions, one of them smiled at me. I looked and there I saw an onager, so I attacked it, stabbed it and held on to it. I asked them to help me but they refused to do so. We ate some of its meat, we were afraid that we would be separated (from the people), so I set out to catch up with the Messenger of Allah (SAW). I made my horse go fast some times and slow sometimes, then I met a man form Banu Ghifar in the middle of the night and I said: ‘where did you meet the Messenger of Allah (SAW)?’ he said: ‘I left him in a Tahin, but he was intending to stop at As-Suqya.’ So I caught up with him and I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah (SAW), your companions send greeting of the Salam and the mercy of Allah to you, and they are afraid lest they get separated from you, so wait for them.’ He waited for them, and I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah (SAW), I caught some game and I have some of it left over.’ The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said to the people: ‘Eat,’ and they were in Ihram. ”
