Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the matter, if we say that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked for the whip for the purpose of sharing, do we say that the Companions participated?
The Shaykh : What did he ask for?
The questioner : The whip.
The Shaykh : The Prophet?
The questioner : Abu Qatadah asked for the whip for sharing. This implies that the Companions participated with him, and they were in a state of ihram. This means the game was for them.
The Shaykh : No. Abu Hurayrah did not hunt it for them. Even if he had intended it for them, it would not be considered game for them; he hunted it for himself. However, al-Sa'ib ibn Jathamah did not hunt it for the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him); rather, it was originally a gift for the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
