فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ فَقُلْتُ: أَيُؤْكَلُ؟ فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ فَقُلْتُ: سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ
Abd ar-Rahman ibn Abu Ammar said he asked Jabir ibn 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 God’s messenger, and he said that he had. Tirmidhi, Nasai and Shafii transmitted it, Tirmidhi saying this is a hasan sahih tradition.
