Hadith record

2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from Yunus ibn Ya’qub who has said the following: “‘I asked Abu 'Abdillah (AS) about the one desperate to the dead (animal carcass), and he can find the hunted prey.' He said: ‘He should eat the hunted prey.' I said, ‘Allah has permitted the animal carcass for him when he is desperate for it, and has not permitted the hunted prey for him?’ He said: ‘Is your eating from your own wealth more beloved to you or from an animal carcass?’ I said, ‘From my own wealth’. He said: ‘It is your wealth, because upon you is its ransom.' I said, ‘Supposing there does not happen to be wealth with me?’ He said: ‘You can fulfill it when you return to your wealth.'”
