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 .

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.
