Hadith text

Narrated `Abdullah bin Abu Qatada:My father set out (for Mecca) in the year of Al-Hudaibiya, and his companions assumed Ihram, but he did not. At that time the Prophet (ﷺ) was informed that an enemy wanted to attack him, so the Prophet (ﷺ) proceeded onwards. While my father was among his companions, some of them laughed among themselves. (My father said), "I looked up and saw an onager. I attacked, stabbed and caught it. I then sought my companions' help but they refused to help me. (Later) we all ate its meat. We were afraid that we might be left behind (separated) from the Prophet (ﷺ) so I went in search of the Prophet (ﷺ) and made my horse to run at a galloping speed at times and let it go slow at an ordinary speed at other times till I met a man from the tribe of Bani Ghifar at midnight. I asked him, "Where did you leave the Prophet (ﷺ) ?" He replied, "I left him at Ta'hin and he had the intention of having the midday rest at As-Suqya. I followed the trace and joined the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Your people (companions) send you their compliments, and (ask for) Allah's Blessings upon you. They are afraid lest they may be left behind; so please wait for them.' I added, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I hunted an onager and some of its meat is with me. The Prophet (ﷺ) told the people to eat it though all of them were in the state of Ihram

Abdullah bin Abu Qatada bataate hain: Mere waalid Al-Hudaibiya ke saal (Mecca) ke liye nikle, aur unke sahaba ne Ihram baandha magar unhone nahi. Us waqt Nabi ko khabar mili ke dushman unpar hamla karna chahta hai, isliye Nabi aage badhe. Mere waalid apne sahaba ke saath the, kuch aapas mein hansne lage. (Mere waalid ne kaha:) "Maine oopar dekha aur ek jangli gadha dekha. Maine hamla kiya, chhura mara aur usse pakad liya. Phir maine apne sahaba se madad maangi magar unhone madad karne se inkaar kiya (kyunke woh Ihram mein the). (Baad mein) hum sabne uska gosht khaya. Humein dar tha ke kahin hum Nabi se pichhad na jaayein, isliye main Nabi ko dhoondhne nikla, kabhi apne ghode ko sarpat daudaya aur kabhi aam raftaar se chalaya yahan tak ke aadhi raat ko Bani Ghifar qabile ke ek shaks se mila. Maine unse pucha: 'Aapne Nabi ko kahan chhoda?' Unhone jawab diya: 'Maine unhe Ta'hin mein chhoda aur unka iraada As-Suqya mein dopahar ki neend lene ka tha.' Maine unka pichha kiya aur Nabi se jaakar mila aur kaha: 'Ya Allah ke Rasool! Aapke log (sahaba) aapko apne salaam aur Allah ki barkat bhejte hain. Unhe dar hai kahin woh pichhad na jaayein; isliye kripya unka intezar karein.' Maine joda: 'Ya Allah ke Rasool! Maine ek jangli gadha shikaar kiya hai aur uska kuch gosht mere paas hai.' Nabi ne logon ko woh khane ko kaha, chahe sab log Ihram mein the."
