Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي خَلَفُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ مَاتَ بَغْلٌ عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْتَفْتِيهِ قَالَ فَزَعَمَ جَابِرُ بْنُ سَمُرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِصَاحِبِهَا مَا لَكَ مَا يُغْنِيكَ عَنْهَا قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَاذْهَبْ فَكُلْهَا.
English Translation
Abdullah narrated to us, he said: Khalaf ibn Hisham narrated to me: Abu Awanah narrated to us from Simak, from Jabir ibn Samurah, who said: A mule died in a man's possession, so he came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, to seek a ruling. Jabir ibn Samurah related that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to its owner: "What is the matter with you? Do you have anything that would suffice you instead of it?" He said: "No." He said: "Then go and eat it."
