حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَجَائٍ الْمَکِّيُّ عَنْ إِسْمَعِيلَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ وَهُوَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ الضَّبُعِ أَصَيْدٌ هُوَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ آکُلُهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ أَشَيْئٌ سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ نَعَمْ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 3236
''It was narrated that Ibn Abu 'Ammar, who is ‘Abdur-Rahman, said: "I asked Jabir bin 'Abdullah about hyenas: ‘Are they game (that can be hunted)?' He said: ‘Yes.’ I said: 'Can I eat them?' He said: ‘Yes.’ I said: 'Is this something that you heard from the Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'Yes."
