How did the Prophet (peace be upon him) prohibit the eating of putrid meat with his saying: "If you shoot your arrow and it is out of sight for three days, then you find it, eat it unless it has become putrid," and then eat rancid clarified butter (ihalah)?

The Ahadith state that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, ate barley bread and rancid fat (transformed fat). The Companions also ate transformed ambergris. It is disliked to eat putrid food that has not reached the point of harm; however, if it reaches the point of harm, it becomes forbidden.
