It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about cutting off the humps of camels and the tails of sheep, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whatever limb is cut off from a living animal is carrion."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whatever part is cut off from the body of a living animal is carrion."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "The purification of every hide is in its tanning." I said: O Messenger of Allah! We travel with these non-Arabs who have cooking pots in which they cook carrion and the flesh of swine. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If they are earthenware, boil water in them and then wash them; and if they are of copper, wash them (in the normal way), for water purifies everything." This hadith has an authentic (sahih) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sabrah al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) halted at al-Hijr, he said to his Companions: "Whoever has made anything (of food) with this water (of this settlement), let him throw it away." The narrator says: So some of them threw away dough they had kneaded, and some threw away hays (a sweet of dates and butter) they had prepared. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man's animal was about to die, so he came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to seek a ruling. Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) states that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to its owner: "Do you not have anything else that would suffice you instead of it?" He said: No. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then go and eat it." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Waqid al-Laythi (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: O Messenger of Allah! We are in a land stricken by famine, so how much of carrion is lawful for us? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you have nothing (such as milk) to drink in the morning or in the evening, and you cannot obtain any vegetables or greens (from the ground), then it (the carrion) is permissible for you." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you are able to give your family their fill of milk in the evening, then avoid what Allah has forbidden, namely carrion." This hadith has an authentic (sahih) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it, and it has a basis with an authentic chain on the condition of the two Shaykhs.

It is narrated from Ibn Awn (may Allah have mercy on him) that he read, in the presence of al-Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him), the letter which Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) had written to his sons, and in it was written that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "In dire necessity (a state of compulsion), a drink in the morning or in the evening (one meal's drink) suffices to keep one from resorting to carrion."

It is narrated from Umm Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with her), the sister of Sayyiduna Shaddad bin Aws (may Allah be pleased with him), that she sent a cup of milk to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at the time of his breaking the fast, and that was on a long day in intense heat. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent the messenger back to ask: "Where did you get this milk from?" She replied: It is from my own goat. He (peace and blessings be upon him) again sent the messenger: "Where did you get this goat from?" She said: I bought it with my own wealth. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) drank it. When the next day came, Umm Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with her) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! I sent that milk to you out of compassion for your state because of the intense heat and the long day, but you sent the messenger back (to investigate)? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That is what the messengers were commanded: that they eat only what is pure and do righteous deeds." This hadith has an authentic (sahih) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When one of you visits his brother and he gives him food to eat, let him eat it and not ask him about it; and if he gives him a drink, let him drink it and not ask about it." This hadith has an authentic (sahih) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
