Abu Qatadah al-Ansari

Abū Qatādah al-Anṣārī was a Companion who accompanied the Prophet's ﷺ 1,400-strong expedition toward Makkah in 6 AH for the intended ʿUmrah of Ḥudaybiyyah, but who, for reasons the classical sources do not explain, though he may have been assigned to oversee the sacrificial animals, was not himself in the state of Iḥrām while the rest of the party was. When a scouting group he rode with spotted a herd of wild zebras (ḥimār al-waḥshī) on the return leg of a false-alarm reconnaissance mission, the Companions in Iḥrām deliberately said nothing to him, since hunting is forbidden to a pilgrim in Iḥrām and even indicating an animal's location to a non-Muḥrim companion is considered assistance in a forbidden hunt. Abū Qatādah spotted the zebras on his own, retrieved his own bow and arrow after his companions refused to hand it to him, and successfully hunted one himself without any assistance from those in Iḥrām. When the group brought the matter to the Prophet ﷺ, he confirmed that because none of them had pointed out the animals or helped in the hunt, the meat was permissible for them to eat, and asked that any extra meat be brought to him as well.
