فِيمَنِ الْمُضْطَرِّ إِلَى الْمَيْتَةِ

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا نَزَلَ الْحَرَّةَ وَمَعَهُ أَهْلُهُ وَوَلَدُهُ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: إِنَّ نَاقَةً لِي ضَلَّتْ فَإِنْ وَجَدْتَهَا فَأَمْسِكْهَا، فَوَجَدَهَا فَلَمْ يَجِدْ صَاحِبَهَا، فَمَرِضَتْ، فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ: انْحَرْهَا، فَأَبَى، فَنَفَقَتْ، فَقَالَتْ: اسْلُخْهَا حَتَّى نُقَدِّدَ شَحْمَهَا وَلَحْمَهَا وَنَأْكُلَهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَتَاهُ، فَسَأَلَهُ، فَقَالَ: هَلْ عِنْدَكَ غِنًى يُغْنِيكَ ؟، قَالَ: لَا، قَالَ: فَكُلُوهَا، قَالَ: فَجَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا فَأَخْبَرَهُ الْخَبَرَ، فَقَالَ: هَلَّا كُنْتَ نَحَرْتَهَا، قَالَ: اسْتَحْيَيْتُ مِنْكَ .

Regarding one who is compelled by necessity to eat dead meat

A man alighted at Harrah with his wife and children. A man said (to him): My she-camel has strayed; if you find it, detain it. He found it, but did not find its owner, and it fell ill. His wife said: Slaughter it. But he refused and it died. She said: Skin it so that we may dry its fat and flesh and then eat them. He said: Let me ask the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. So he came to him (the Prophet) and asked him. He said: Have you sufficient for your needs? He replied: No. He then said: Then eat it. Then its owner came and he told him the story. He said: Why did you not slaughter it? He replied: I was ashamed (or afraid) of you.
