حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم جَاءَهُ جَاءٍ فَقَالَ أُكِلَتِ الْحُمُرُ. فَسَكَتَ، ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ الثَّانِيَةَ فَقَالَ أُكِلَتِ الْحُمُرُ. فَسَكَتَ، ثُمَّ الثَّالِثَةَ فَقَالَ أُفْنِيَتِ الْحُمُرُ. فَأَمَرَ مُنَادِيًا فَنَادَى فِي النَّاسِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ يَنْهَيَانِكُمْ عَنْ لُحُومِ الْحُمُرِ الأَهْلِيَّةِ. فَأُكْفِئَتِ الْقُدُورُ، وَإِنَّهَا لَتَفُورُ بِاللَّحْمِ.

English translation
Narrated Anas bin Malik: Someone came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "The donkeys have been eaten (by the Muslims)." The Prophet kept quiet. Then the man came again and said, "The donkeys have been eaten." The Prophet (ﷺ) kept quiet. The man came to him the third time and said, "The donkeys have been consumed." On that the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered an announcer to announce to the people, "Allah and His Apostle forbid you to eat the meat of donkeys." Then the cooking pots were upset while the meat was still boiling in them

আনাস ইবনু মালিক (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু ‘আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর কাছে একজন আগন্তুক এসে বলল, (গানীমাতের) গাধাগুলো খেয়ে ফেলা হচ্ছে। রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু ‘আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম চুপ রইলেন। এরপর লোকটি দ্বিতীয়বার এসে বলল, গাধাগুলো খেয়ে ফেলা হচ্ছে। রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু ‘আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম তখনো চুপ থাকলেন। লোকটি তৃতীয়বার এসে বলল, গাধাগুলো খতম করে দেয়া হচ্ছে। তখন তিনি একজন ঘোষণাকারীকে হুকুম দিলেন। সে লোকজনের সামনে গিয়ে ঘোষণা দিলঃ আল্লাহ এবং তাঁর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু ‘আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম তোমাদেরকে গৃহপালিত গাধার গোশ্ত খেতে নিষেধ করেছেন। তখন ডেকচিগুলো উল্টে দেয়া হল। অথচ ডেকচিগুলোতে গোশ্ত তখন টগবগ করে ফুটছিল। [৩৭১০] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ৩৮৭৯, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
