Hadith 1050
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِشَاةٍ مَيِّتَةٍ، كَانَ أَعْطَاهَا مَوْلَاةً لِمَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ : " أَفَلَا انْتَفَعْتُمْ بِجِلْدِهَا "، فَقَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّهَا مَيْتَةٌ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّمَا حُرِّمَ أَكْلُهَا "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a dead goat belonging to the slave of his wife, Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her). This goat had been given to the slave by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Why did you not make use of its skin?" They said: "O Messenger of Allah! It is dead." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Eating the dead animal is forbidden."
Hadith 1051
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِك، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ وَعْلَةَ الْمِصْرِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ : أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ : " إِذَا دُبِغَ الْإِهَابُ، فَقَدْ طَهُرَ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Any hide that is tanned becomes pure."
Hadith 1052
عَنْ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ أَحْسَنَ مَا سُمِعَ فِي الرَّجُلِ يُضْطَرُّ إِلَى الْمَيْتَةِ، أَنَّهُ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا، حَتَّى يَشْبَعَ وَيَتَزَوَّدُ مِنْهَا، فَإِنْ وَجَدَ عَنْهَا غِنًى طَرَحَهَا. وَسُئِلَ مَالِكٌ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُضْطَرُّ إِلَى الْمَيْتَةِ أَيَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا؟ وَهُوَ يَجِدُ ثَمَرَ الْقَوْمِ، أَوْ زَرْعًا أَوْ غَنَمًا بِمَكَانِهِ ذَلِكَ؟
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: It is permissible for the one in necessity to eat the dead animal to his fill, and to take some of it as provision, but if he finds something lawful, he should throw away that provision.
قَالَ مَالِكٌ : إِنْ ظَنَّ أَنَّ أَهْلَ ذَلِكَ الثَّمَرِ أَوِ الزَّرْعِ أَوِ الْغَنَمِ يُصَدِّقُونَهُ بِضَرُورَتِهِ، حَتَّى لَا يُعَدُّ سَارِقًا فَتُقْطَعَ يَدُهُ، رَأَيْتُ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ مِنْ أَيِّ ذَلِكَ وَجَدَ مَا يَرُدُّ جُوعَهُ، وَلَا يَحْمِلُ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا، وَذَلِكَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ الْمَيْتَةَ، وَإِنْ هُوَ خَشِيَ أَنْ لَا يُصَدِّقُوهُ، وَأَنْ يُعَدَّ سَارِقًا بِمَا أَصَابَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، فَإِنَّ أَكْلَ الْمَيْتَةِ خَيْرٌ لَهُ عِنْدِي، وَلَهُ فِي أَكْلِ الْمَيْتَةِ عَلَى هَذَا الْوَجْهِ سَعَةٌ، مَعَ أَنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يَعْدُوَ عَادٍ مِمَّنْ لَمْ يُضْطَرَّ إِلَى الْمَيْتَةِ يُرِيدُ اسْتِجَازَةَ أَخْذِ أَمْوَالِ النَّاسِ وَزُرُوعِهِمْ وَثِمَارِهِمْ بِذَلِكَ بِدُونِ اضْطِرَارٍ
Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked whether a person in dire need should eat carrion or eat the fruit from someone’s garden, or from a field, or take a goat. Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) replied: If the owner of the garden, field, or goat considers the person in need to be truthful, and does not have his hand cut off thinking him to be a thief, then eating these things is better than eating carrion. But if the person in need fears that the owner of these things will not consider him truthful, and will have his hand cut off thinking him to be a thief, then eating carrion is better. And if eating someone else’s property was better than eating carrion in every situation, then wicked people would use this excuse to consume others’ property.
قَالَ مَالِكٌ : وَهَذَا أَحْسَنُ مَا سَمِعْتُ.
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: I like what I have heard.
وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ قُسَيْطٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " أَمَرَ أَنْ يُسْتَمْتَعَ بِجُلُودِ الْمَيْتَةِ إِذَا دُبِغَتْ "
It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, who was the wife of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, ordered: "To benefit from the skins of dead animals when they have been tanned."
