وَأَمَّا الْحَدِيثُ الَّذِي أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي زِيَادٍ ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدٍ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هُوَ ابْنُ مَعْقِلٍ عَنْ غَالِبِ بْنِ أَبْجَرَ قَالَ أَصَابَتْنَا سَنَةٌ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِي مَالِي شَيْءٌ أُطْعِمُ أَهْلِي إِلَّا شَيْءٌ مِنْ حُمُرٍ وَقَدْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَرَّمَ لُحُومَ الْحُمُرِ الْأَهْلِيَّةِ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَصَابَتْنَا سَنَةٌ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِي مَالِي مَا أُطْعِمُ أَهْلِي إِلَّا سِمَانَ حُمُرٍ وَإِنَّكَ حَرَّمْتَ لُحُومَ الْحُمُرِ الْأَهْلِيَّةِ فَقَالَ أَطْعِمْ أَهْلَكَ مِنْ سَمِينِ حُمُرِكَ فَإِنَّمَا حَرَّمْتُهَا مِنْ أَجْلِ جَوَّالِي الْقَرْيَةِ فَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ مُخْتَلَفٌ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ
English Translation
As for the hadith that Abu Ali al-Rudhbari informed us, Muhammad ibn Bakr informed us, Abu Dawud narrated to us, Abdullah ibn Abi Ziyad narrated to us, Ubaydullah narrated to us from Isra'il, from Mansur, from Ubayd Abi al-Hasan, from Abd al-Rahman, who is Ibn Ma'qil, from Ghalib ibn Abjar, who said: "A drought year struck us and I had nothing in my wealth to feed my family except some donkeys. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had prohibited the meat of domestic donkeys. So I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, a drought year has struck us and I have nothing in my wealth to feed my family except fat donkeys, and you have prohibited the meat of domestic donkeys.' He said: 'Feed your family from the fat of your donkeys, for I only prohibited them because of the scavenging animals of the village.'" This hadith has a disputed chain of narration.
