Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Nu’man bin ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Hazrat Sa‘id bin Jubair passed by an ostrich that had been thrown into the garbage and was still moving. Hazrat Sa‘id bin Jubair asked, “What is this?” The people replied, “We threw it away thinking it was dead.” Hazrat Sa‘id said, “Why do you leave it for Satan? A carcass is only that which becomes motionless.”
