 Rh wearing gloves or veils and whatever the dye waras and saffron had touched, 'but let them (said he), after that, wear whatever they like of yellow-coloured clothes or the cloth called khazz or ornaments or long drawers or a chemise or shoes.'—Abú Dáud.

It is related from Aṣ Ṣaʿb bin Jathámah that he brought a present of an ass to the Apostle of God when he was at Abwái or Waddán; but he returned it to him. Then when the Apostle of God saw what (displeasure) was in his face, he said, 'Verily I would not have returned it to thee, except that we put on the pilgrim garb.'—Muslim, Al Bukhárí.

It is related from Abú Qatádah that he went out with the Apostle of God, but he lingered behind with some of his companions. And they were engaged in the pilgrimage, but he was not so engaged. Then they saw a wild ass before he did; but when they saw it they left it alone, until at length Abú Qatádah saw it also. Then he mounted his horse and asked them to give him his whip, but they refused. Then he took it and attacked and wounded it. Afterwards he ate of it, and they ate of it. Then they regretted having done so, and when they came up with the Apostle of God they asked him about it. He replied, 'Is there any of it with you?' They said, 'We have a leg of it with us.' Then the Prophet took and ate of it.—Muslim, Al Bukhárí. And in another tradition, given by both Muslim and Al Bukhárí, it runs, 'When they came to the Apostle of God he said, "Did any one of you order him to attack it or point towards it?" They replied, "No." He said, "Then eat what remains of its flesh."

It is related from Ibn ʿOmar from the Prophet that, 'He said, "There are five things which it is no sin to kill on sacred ground and when one is performing the pilgrimage: a mouse, a raven, a hawk, a scorpion and a biting dog."'—Muslim, Al Bukhárí.

It is related from Jábir that, 'The Apostle of God said, "The flesh of game is lawful for you when performing the pilgrimage, so long as you do not hunt it yourselves, or it is not hunted on your behalf."'—Abú Dáud, At Tirmidhí.
