It is narrated from Hazrat Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that there was a family living in Harrah whose members were poor and needy. Near them, either their own or someone else's she-camel died. So the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) granted them permission to eat it. (Due to the state of necessity, and that she-camel sustained them for a year.)
