Musnad Ahmed
Hasan because of corroborating evidence, this is a Da'if isnad]
It was narrated from "Abdullah bin al-Harith bin Nawfal that
"Uthman bin "Affan (رضي الله عنه) halted at Qudaid and a partridge was brought to him in a bowl with its legs uppermost. He sent word to "Ali (رضي الله عنه), who was feeding a camel of his, and he came with the leaves dropping from his hands. "Ali refrained from eating it and the people also refrained. ‘Ali said: Who here is from Ashja"? Do you know that a Bedouin brought some ostrich eggs and the meat of an onager to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he said: "Feed them to your family, for we are in ihram"? They said: Yes indeed. Then "Uthman turned away from his seat and said: We cannot have it then.
