أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ الضَّبُعِ فَأَمَرَنِي بِأَکْلِهَا فَقُلْتُ أَصَيْدٌ هِيَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ أَسَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ نَعَمْ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4338
It was narrated that Ibn Abi ‘Ammar said: “I asked Jabir bin ‘Abdullah about hyenas and he told me to eat them. I said: ‘Are they game (that can be hunted)?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ I said: ‘Did you hear that from the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم ?’ He said: ‘Yes.” (Sahih)
