Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 1958 — a man was in the Harrah

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man was in the Harrah (a rocky volcanic area) and his wife was with him. A man lost a camel of his, and this man who lived in the Harrah found it and kept it with him; then the camel fell ill. His wife said to him: If only you would slaughter it, then we could dry its meat and fat and eat it. But he refused (her suggestion) until it (the camel) died. Then he came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and told him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you have any other means of sustenance besides this?", or he said: "Do you have anything else to live on besides this?" He said: No. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then dry its fat and meat and eat it." After that the owner of the camel came and said: Why did you not slaughter it? He said: I felt shy of you.
