English Translation

‘Abd ar-Rahman b. Abu ‘Ammar said he asked Jabir b. 'Abdallah whether the hyena was considered game, and he said it was. He asked whether it might be eaten, and he said it might. He asked whether he had heard that from the Beloved Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), and he said that he had. Tirmidhi, Nasa'i and Shafi'i transmitted it, Tirmidhi saying this is a hasan sahih tradition.
