Bayhaqi 19641 — What carrion is lawful out of necessity

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الْجُرْجَانِيُّ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْعَسْقَلَانِيُّ، ثنا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، أنبأ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِلَالٍ، عَنْ عُتْبَةَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّهُ قِيلَ لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: حَدِّثْنَا حَدِيثًا عَنْ شَأْنِ سَاعَةِ الْعُسْرَةِ. فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: خَرَجْنَا إِلَى تَبُوكَ فِي قَيْظٍ شَدِيدٍ، فَنَزَلْنَا مَنْزِلًا أَصَابَنَا فِيهِ عَطَشٌ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّ رِقَابَنَا سَتَنْقَطِعُ، حَتَّى إِنْ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَذْهَبُ يَلْتَمِسُ الْمَاءَ فَلَا يَرْجِعُ حَتَّى يَظُنُّ أَنَّ رَقَبَتَهُ سَتَنْقَطِعُ، حَتَّى إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَنْحَرُ بَعِيرَهُ فَيَعْصِرُ فَرْثَهُ فَيَشْرَبُهُ فَيجْعَلُ مَا بَقِيَ عَلَى كَبِدِهِ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ عَوَّدَكَ فِي الدُّعَاءِ خَيْرًا فَادْعُ لَنَا. فَقَالَ: " أَتُحِبُّ ذَلِكَ؟ " قَالَ: نَعَمْ. فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ فَلَمْ يُرْجِعْهُمَا حَتَّى قَالَتِ السَّمَاءُ فَأَظَلَّتْ ثُمَّ سَكَبَتْ فَمَلَؤُوا مَا مَعَهُمْ، ثُمَّ ذَهَبْنَا نَنْظُرُ فَلَمْ نَجِدْهَا جَازَتِ الْعَسْكَرَ.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says that Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked: Tell us about the time of hardship. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We set out for the expedition of Tabuk on an intensely hot day. We camped at a place, and because of severe thirst our necks were close to breaking. A man would go out in search of water but would fear that his neck would break before he returned, until people would slaughter a camel, squeeze the water out of its stomach contents and drink it. Then Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to supplicate for good. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Would you like that?" Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) answered yes. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his hands and it rained, and the people filled their vessels with water. Then we went to look, and found that the rain had not gone beyond the army.
