Sunan an-Nasai 4331 — Horses, Mules and Donkeys

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 4331

This narration from Khalid bin Al-Walid states that he heard the Messenger of Allah say that the flesh of horses, mules, and donkeys is not permissible to eat. The text groups all three animals in one statement. Because other reports may be studied separately, this explanation should first present this hadith exactly as supplied and should not silently replace its wording with another narration. The report itself gives no reason, no date, and no further detail about the animals. Its core topic is prohibited animal meat according to this specific narration. A careful reader should note both the named categories and the limits of the report. When hadith texts on one topic appear different, accuracy begins by preserving each wording before any wider comparison is made according to Islamic scholars.
