حدثنا موسى بن إسماعيل، حدثنا حماد، عن سماك بن حرب، عن جابر بن سمرة، أن رجلا، نزل الحرة ومعه أهله وولده فقال رجل إن ناقة لي ضلت فإن وجدتها فأمسكها ‏.‏ فوجدها فلم يجد صاحبها فمرضت فقالت امرأته انحرها ‏.‏ فأبى فنفقت فقالت اسلخها حتى نقدد شحمها ولحمها ونأكله ‏.‏ فقال حتى أسأل رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فأتاه فسأله فقال ‏"‏ هل عندك غنى يغنيك ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قال لا ‏.‏ قال ‏"‏ فكلوها ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قال فجاء صاحبها فأخبره الخبر فقال ‏"‏ هلا كنت نحرتها ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قال استحييت منك ‏.‏
 Narrated Jabir ibn Samurah:                     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 (ﷺ). 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.
