Usman did not seem to feel any restriction connected therewith, but his companions did not touch the meat. Thereupon, Usman exclaimed:
“Brothers! This meat of the bird is not prohibited for us, because we did of the pilgrimage. Therefore, I don’t see any harm in eating this meat”.
But the people present in his tent said, “You may not, but Hazrat Ali (a.s.) does not like it despite all the explanation you have given in this connection.”
Then Usman called Hazrat Ali (a.s.) through some one.
Hazrat Ali (a.s.) who was marking the camels there seemed a bit annoyed but still he accompanied the man to the tent of Usman. Usman said to him:
“O Ali (a.s.)! You always seem to go against me in all the religious matters.”
On this Hazrat Ali (a.s.) said to the people present there,
“I ask you to tell on oath whether the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) had not once refused the meat of a roasted wild donkey with the excuse that he and his companions were dressed in the restricted clothes of Haj and if the meat was not given to those who were not?”
About twelve persons present there said on oath that it had actually happened what had been described by Hazrat Ali (a.s.).
Then Hazrat Ali (a.s.) asked the people present there again to say on oath as to whether five eggs of the Ostrich were not once brought to the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) as a gift when he was on his way to Mecca for Haj and also whether had he not refused to eat them on the same place.
About a dozen of people again said on oath that it had happened the same way as was described by Hazrat Ali (a.s.).
Thereupon, Usman went inside his tent, leaving the gift with those who had brought it.[1]
