Arabic (Original)
وَأَهْدَيْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَحْمَ حِمَارِ وَحْشٍ وَهُوَ بِالْأَبْوَاءِ أَوْ بِوَدَّانَ فَرَدَّهُ عَلَيَّ فَلَمَّا رَأَى الْكَرَاهِيَةَ فِي وَجْهِي قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنَّا رَدٌّ عَلَيْكَ وَلَكِنَّا حُرُمٌ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ فَحَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ بِحَدِيثِ الصَّعْبِ هَذَا عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَبْلَ أَنْ نَلْقَاهُ فَقَالَ فِيهِ هُمْ مِنْ آبَائِهِمْ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ تَفَقَّدْتُهُ فَلَمْ يَقُلْ وَقَالَ هُمْ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُمْ.
English Translation
And I gave the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, a gift of the meat of a wild donkey while he was at al-Abwa' or Wadan, and he returned it to me. When he saw the displeasure on my face, he said: "It is not from us out of aversion toward you, but we are in ihram." Sufyan said: 'Amr ibn Dinar narrated to us this hadith of al-Sa'b, from al-Zuhri, before we met him, and in it he said: "They are from their fathers." But when al-Zuhri came to us, I checked with him, and he did not say that, but said: "They are better than them."
