Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 1794
This hadith about domestic donkey meat at Khaibar is narrated from ‘Ali through the sons of Muhammad bin ‘Ali. ‘Ali reports that during the time of Khaibar, the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم prohibited mut‘ah with women and eating the meat of domesticated donkeys. The report contains two separate matters in the same narration, so it is best not to mix them into one idea. For food content, the focus is the clear mention of domestic donkey meat being prohibited. Abu ‘Eisa grades the hadith hasan sahih and the text also records discussion about the narrators ‘Abdullah and Al-Hasan, the two sons of Muhammad bin ‘Ali.
What we learn from this hadith
- The hadith reports the prohibition of domestic donkey meat at Khaibar.
- The narration also separately mentions mut‘ah with women.
- The explanation should keep both matters distinct and not blend them.
