[Machine] I arrived in the city and found a sheep that had been slaughtered and divided into four parts. Each part had a distinct neck. I wanted to buy one of the parts, so a man from the city told me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited selling a living animal for a dead one. I then asked about that man and was informed that he was a good person.  

البيهقي:١٠٥٧٢أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ أنا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ أنا الشَّافِعِيُّ أنا مُسْلِمٌ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ أَبِي بَزَّةَ قَالَ

قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَوَجَدْتُ جَزُورًا قَدْ جُزِرَتْ فَجُزِّئَتْ أَرْبَعَةَ أَجْزَاءٍ كُلُّ جُزْءٍ مِنْهَا بِعَنَاقٍ فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَبْتَاعَ مِنْهَا جُزْءًا فَقَالَ لِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ إنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَى أَنْ يُبَاعَ حَيٌّ بِمَيِّتٍ قَالَ فَسَأَلْتُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلِ فَأُخْبِرْتُ عَنْهُ خَيْرًا
