جامع ترمذی · Hadith 1793
Narrated Jabir: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) allowed us to eat horse meat, and he forbade us from eating donkey meat. He said: There is something on this from Asma' bin Abi Bakr. Abu 'Eisa said: This Hadith is Hasan Sahih. This is how it was reported by more than one narrator, from 'Amr bin Dinar from Jabir. Hammad bin Zaid reported it from 'Amr bin Dinar from Muhammad bin 'Ali, from Jabir. The narration of Ibn 'Uyainah (no. 1793) is more correct. He said: I heard Muhammad saying: Sufyan bin 'Uyainah is better at memorizing than Hammad bin Zaid.
