جو شخص بے قرار ہو جائے مردار کے کھانے پر اس کا بیان
راوی:
عَنْ مَالِک عَنْ الرَّجُلِ يُضْطَرُّ إِلَی الْمَيْتَةِ أَيَأْکُلُ مِنْهَا وَهُوَ يَجِدُ ثَمَرَ الْقَوْمِ أَوْ زَرْعًا أَوْ غَنَمًا بِمَکَانِهِ ذَلِکَ قَالَ مَالِک إِنْ ظَنَّ أَنَّ أَهْلَ ذَلِکَ الثَّمَرِ أَوْ الزَّرْعِ أَوْ الْغَنَمِ يُصَدِّقُونَهُ بِضَرُورَتِهِ حَتَّی لَا يُعَدُّ سَارِقًا فَتُقْطَعَ يَدُهُ رَأَيْتُ أَنْ يَأْکُلَ مِنْ أَيِّ ذَلِکَ وَجَدَ مَا يَرُدُّ جُوعَهُ وَلَا يَحْمِلُ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا وَذَلِکَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ يَأْکُلَ الْمَيْتَةَ وَإِنْ هُوَ خَشِيَ أَنْ لَا يُصَدِّقُوهُ وَأَنْ يُعَدَّ سَارِقًا بِمَا أَصَابَ مِنْ ذَلِکَ فَإِنَّ أَکْلَ الْمَيْتَةِ خَيْرٌ لَهُ عِنْدِي وَلَهُ فِي أَکْلِ الْمَيْتَةِ عَلَی هَذَا الْوَجْهِ سَعَةٌ مَعَ أَنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يَعْدُوَ عَادٍ مِمَّنْ لَمْ يُضْطَرَّ إِلَی الْمَيْتَةِ يُرِيدُ اسْتِجَازَةَ أَخْذِ أَمْوَالِ النَّاسِ وَزُرُوعِهِمْ وَثِمَارِهِمْ بِذَلِکَ بِدُونِ اضْطِرَارٍ قَالَ مَالِک وَهَذَا أَحْسَنُ مَا سَمِعْتُ
کہا مالک نے مضطر کو درست ہے کہ مردہ پیٹ بھر کر کھائے اور اس میں سے کچھ توشہ اٹھا رکھے لیکن حلال مل جائے تو اس توشہ کو پھینک دے ۔
Yahya related to me from Malik that the best of what he had heard about a man who is forced by necessity to eat carrion is that he ate it until he was full and then he took provision from it. If he found something which would enable him to dispense with it, he threw it away.
Malik when asked whether or not a man who had been forced by necessity to eat carrion, should eat it when he also found the fruit, crops or sheep of a people in that place, answered, "If he thinks that the owners of the fruit, crops, or sheep will believe his necessity so that he will not be deemed a thief and have his hand cut off, then I think that he should eat from whatever he finds that which will remove his hunger but he should not carry any of it away. I prefer that he does that than that he eat carrion. If he fears that he will not be believed, and will be deemed a thief for what he has taken, then I think that it is better for him to eat the carrion, and he has leeway to eat carrion in this respect. Even so, I fear that someone who is not forced by necessity to eat carrion might exceed the limits out of a desire to consume other peoples' property, crops or fruit."
Malik said, "That is the best of what I have heard."
