2820 - Qutaybah informed us, saying: Hammad ibn Zayd narrated to us, from Salih ibn Kaysan, from Ubayd Allah ibn Abd Allah, from Ibn Abbas, from al-Sa'b ibn Jaththamah, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was coming until when he was at Waddan, he was brought...

= And Muslim (1193): (50), and Ibn Hibban (3969).

Also narrated by Ahmad (16427) and (16428) and (16429), and his son Abd Allah in his additions (16671) and (16673) and (16674) and (16680), and al-Bukhari (2596), and Muslim (1193): (51), and al-Tirmidhi (849), and Ibn Majah (3090) via multiple chains from al-Zuhri, with this chain of transmission. And in Ahmad (16428), Ibn Jurayj said to al-Zuhri: "Was the donkey wounded?" He said: "I do not know."

And Sufyan ibn Uyaynah differed in its text; he narrated it from al-Zuhri with this chain of transmission and said: "I gave him as a gift some meat of a wild donkey." It was narrated through this route by Ahmad (16422) and (16658), and Muslim (1193): (52), and Ibn Hibban (136). Al-Humaydi said, (783): Sufyan used to say "a wild donkey," then he changed to "meat of a wild donkey."

Ibn Hajar said in "al-Fath" 4/32: This indicates his confusion regarding it. He was followed in his statement "meat of a wild donkey" through routes in which there is some criticism... etc., and he mentioned them.

And al-Shafi'i said — as reported from him by al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar — that the hadith of Malik that al-Sa'b gifted a donkey is more firmly established than the hadith of those who narrated that he gifted donkey meat. Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar also transmitted from al-Tirmidhi his statement: Some of the companions of al-Zuhri narrated in the hadith of al-Sa'b: "meat of a wild donkey," and it is not preserved.

And it will follow after this via the route of Salih ibn Kaysan, from Ubayd Allah ibn Abd Allah ibn Utbah, with it.

And via the route of Sa'id ibn Jubayr, from Ibn Abbas, under numbers (2822) and (2823).

Al-Sindi said: His statement "al-Abwa' and Waddan": two places between the two sanctuaries, and "hurum" meaning: in a state of ihram. The reconciliation between this and what preceded is that this one was hunted for him, or this concerns the living donkey, while what preceded concerns what was not hunted for him. And that this one was alive is something the narrations do not support, and Allah knows best.

And his statement: "We did not return it" — Qadi Iyad mentioned in "Ikmal al-Mu'allim" 4/197-198 that the narration is with the opening of the dal, and the correct view according to the verifying scholars of Arabic is with the damma on the dal, taking into account the waw that is necessitated by the damma of the ha' after it. This applies to the masculine; as for the feminine, such as "lam naruddaha," the dal is opened taking into account the alif, and this is the school of Sibawayh.
