Hadith 4262
وَعَنْ أَبِي وَاقِدٍ اللَّيْثِيِّ أَنْ رَجُلًا قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا نَكُونُ بِأَرْضٍ فَتُصِيبُنَا بهَا المخصمة فَمَتَى يحلُّ لنا الميتةُ؟ قَالَ: «مَا لم تصطبحوا وتغتبقوا أَوْ تَحْتَفِئُوا بِهَا بَقْلًا فَشَأْنَكُمْ بِهَا» . مَعْنَاهُ: إِذَا لَمْ تَجِدُوا صَبُوحًا أَوْ غَبُوقًا وَلَمْ تَجِدُوا بَقْلَةً تَأْكُلُونَهَا حَلَّتْ لَكُمُ الْمَيْتَةُ. رَوَاهُ الدَّارمِيّ
Abu Waqid al-Laithi told that a man said, "Messenger of God, we live in a land where we are afflicted by hunger, so when may we eat animals which have died a natural death?" He replied, "As long as you do not have a morning drink or an evening drink or gather vegetables you may eat them," meaning that when you do not find a morning drink or an evening drink, or find a vegetable to eat, animals which have died a natural death are allowable to you. Darimi transmitted it.
