We went on a summer campaign with Khalid bin Walid, and our companions began craving meat. They came to me and asked, "Will you give us permission to slaughter a mare of yours?" So I handed her over to them, and they tied her up. Then I said, "Wait here until I go to Khalid and ask him."I went to him and asked him, and he said, "We went on the campaign of Khaybar with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The people rushed to the enclosures of the Jews, so he ordered me to call out, 'The prayer is gathering, and none shall enter Paradise except a Muslim.' Then he said, 'People, you have rushed to the enclosures of the Jews. Beware, the property of those under treaty is not lawful except by its right. Forbidden to you are the flesh of domestic donkeys, their horses, and their mules, every fanged beast of prey, and every bird with talons.'"
حدثنا أحمد بن عبد الملك حدثنا محمد بن حرب يعني الأبرش قال حدثنا سليمان بن سليم أبو سلمة عن صالح يعني ابن يحيى بن المقدام
غزونا مع خالد بن الوليد الصائفة فقرم أصحابنا إلى اللحم فسألوني فقالوا أتأذن لنا أن نذبح رمكة له فدفعتها إليهم فحبلوها ثم قلت مكانكم حتى آتي خالدا فأسأله قال فأتيته فسألته فقال غزونا مع رسول الله ﷺ غزوة خيبر فأسرع الناس في حظائر يهود فأمرني أن أنادي الصلاة جامعة ولا يدخل الجنة إلا مسلم ثم قال أيها الناس إنكم قد أسرعتم في حظائر يهود ألا لا تحل أموال المعاهدين إلا بحقها وحرام عليكم لحوم الحمر الأهلية وخيلها وبغالها وكل ذي ناب من السباع وكل ذي مخلب من الطير
Its isnad is daif because of Salih bin Yahya bin Miqdam, of whom Bukhari said, "There is doubt about him," and Aqeeli and Ibn Jarud declared him daif, while Ibn Hibban said he was reliable but prone to error. The rest of the narrators are Levantine and well known.Ahmad bin Abdul-Malik bin Waqid Harrani is reliable, and his hadith appears in Bukhari. Muhammad bin Harb Khawlani Abrash Himsi is reliable, and his hadith appears in the collections of all the major compilers. Sulayman bin Sulaym Kalbi, Abu Salama Shami, the judge of Hims, is reliable, and his hadith appears in Muslim.This hadith was narrated by Abu Dawud, 3/352, number 3790, in the chapter on foods, on eating horse meat, and by Nasai, 7/202, number 4332, in the chapter on hunting, with similar wording.I say, this hadith conflicts with the hadith transmitted by the hadith masters that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade the meat of donkeys, mules, and horses. However, the jurists said that the prohibition regarding horses here is implicit and not meant to declare their meat forbidden, but rather because they were used for riding and were expensive, and whatever people naturally do not do or customarily avoid does not need to be explicitly prohibited.The word "ramaka" refers to a mule, a mare, or a packhorse, and it has also been said to mean a female wild donkey. The phrase "they gathered it" means they tied it with ropes in order to slaughter it.
