I brought a brother of mine to the Prophet (ﷺ) to do Tahnik for him while the Prophet (ﷺ) was in a sheep fold
of his, and I saw him branding a sheep. (The sub-narrator said: I think Anas said, branding it on the
ear.)

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and I entered the house of Maimuna. A roasted mastigure was served. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)
stretched his hand out (to eat of it) but some woman said, “Inform Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) of what he is about
to eat.” So they said, “It is mastigure, O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)!” He withdrew his hand, whereupon I said, “O
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Is it unlawful?” He said, “No, but this is not found in the land of my people, so I
dislike it.” So I pulled the mastigure towards me and ate it while Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was looking at me.

A mouse fell into the butter-fat and died. The Prophet (ﷺ) was asked about that. He said, “Throw away the
mouse and the butter-fat that surrounded it, and eat the rest of the butter-fat (As-Samn).

regarding an animal, e.g., a mouse or some other animal that had fallen into solid or liquid oil or
butter-fat: I had been informed that a mouse had died in butter-fat whereupon Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) ordered
that the butter-fat near it be thrown away and the rest of the butter-fat can be eaten.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, ‘The example of a good pious companion and an evil one is that of a person carrying
musk and another blowing a pair of bellows. The one who is carrying musk will either give you some
perfume as a present, or you will buy some from him, or you will get a good smell from him, but the
one who is blowing a pair of bellows will either burn your clothes or you will get a bad smell from
him.”

Once we provoked a rabbit at Marr-az-Zahran. The people chased it till they got tired. Then I caught It
and brought it to Abu Talha, who slaughtered it and then sent both its pelvic pieces (or legs) to the
Prophet, and the Prophet (ﷺ) accepted the present.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “I do not eat mastigure, but I do not prohibit its eating.”

Once Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) passed by a dead sheep and said (to the people), “Why don’t you use its hide?”
They said, “But it is dead,” He said, “Only eating it, is prohibited.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) passed by a dead goat and said, “There is no harm if its owners benefit from its skin.”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “None is wounded in Allah’s Cause but will come on the Day of Resurrection
with his wound bleeding. The thing that will come out of his wound will be the color of blood, but its
smell will be the smell of musk.”
