حَدَّثَنَا الْمَكِّيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الأَكْوَعِ، قَالَ لَمَّا أَمْسَوْا يَوْمَ فَتَحُوا خَيْبَرَ أَوْقَدُوا النِّيرَانَ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ عَلَى مَا أَوْقَدْتُمْ هَذِهِ النِّيرَانَ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالُوا لُحُومِ الْحُمُرِ الإِنْسِيَّةِ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَهْرِيقُوا مَا فِيهَا، وَاكْسِرُوا قُدُورَهَا ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ فَقَالَ نُهَرِيقُ مَا فِيهَا وَنَغْسِلُهَا‏.‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ أَوْ ذَاكَ ‏"‏‏.‏

English Translation

Narrated Salama bin Al-Aqwa':

In the evening of the day of the conquest of Khaibar, the army made fires (for cooking). The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "For what have you made these fires?" They said, "For cooking the meat of domestic donkeys." He said, "Throw away what is in the cooking pots and break the pots." A man from the people got up and said, "Shall we throw the contents of the cooking pots and then wash the pots (instead of breaking them)?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Yes, you can do either.'
