[Machine] A mule died in front of a man, so he came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ seeking his advice. Jabir reported from Samurah that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to the owner of the mule, "Don't you have anything that can compensate you for it?" He replied, "No." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then go and eat it." This narration is recorded in Sahih Muslim without any alteration.
