Musnad Abu Ya'la al-Mawsili 248:5

And with his chain of narration from Jabir ibn Samurah, he said: A mule died at the place of a man, so he came to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, seeking his legal opinion. Jabir claimed that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to its owner: "Do you have what suffices you instead of it?" He said: "No." He said: "Go, then eat it."
