أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ الضَّبُعِ،

فَأَمَرَنِي بِأَكْلِهَا ‏.‏ قُلْتُ أَصَيْدٌ هِيَ قَالَ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ أَسَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ نَعَمْ ‏.‏

Are hyenas a type of game (animal)? Jābir replied: Yes

Ibn Abi ‘Ammār reported: I said to Jābir: "Are hyenas a type of game (animal)?" Jābir replied: ‘Yes.’ I asked: "Did the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say that?" He replied: 'Yes.'

حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، قَضَى فِي الضَّبُعِ بِكَبْشٍ وَفِي الْغَزَالِ بِعَنْزٍ وَفِي الأَرْنَبِ بِعَنَاقٍ وَفِي الْيَرْبُوعِ بِجَفْرَةٍ ‏.‏
