عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ - رضى الله عنه -
قَالَ أَنْفَجْنَا أَرْنَبًا بِمَرِّ الظَّهْرَانِ ، فَسَعَوْا عَلَيْهَا
حَتَّى لَغِبُوا ، فَسَعَيْتُ عَلَيْهَا حَتَّى أَخَذْتُهَا ، فَجِئْتُ
بِهَا إِلَى أَبِى طَلْحَةَ ، فَبَعَثَ إِلَى النَّبِىِّ - صلى الله عليه
وسلم - بِوَرِكِهَا وَفَخِذَيْهَا فَقَبِلَهُ
Narrated by Anas bin Malik (ra): We provoked a
rabbit at Mar Zhahran, it started jumping. My companions chased it till
