some men of Quraish passed by the Messenger of Allah dragging a sheep the size of a donkey. He said to them: "Why don't you take its skin?" They said: "It is dead meat." The Messenger of Allah said: "Purify it with water and Qaraz." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4248)   

أحمد:٢٦٨٣٣حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ غَيْلَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا رِشْدِينُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ أَنَّ كَثِيرَ بْنَ فَرْقَدٍ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ مَالِكِ بْنِ حُذَافَةَ حَدَّثَهُ

عَنْ أُمِّهِ الْعَالِيَةِ بِنْتِ سُمَيْعٍ أَوْ سُبَيْعٍ الشَّكُّ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ أَنَّ مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِرِجَالٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ يَجُرُّونَ شَاةً لَهُمْ مِثْلَ الْحِمَارِ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَوْ أَخَذْتُمْ إِهَابَهَا قَالُوا إِنَّهَا مَيْتَةٌ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُطَهِّرُهَا الْمَاءُ والْقَرَظُ

I had some sheep at Uhud, and they began to die. I then entered upon Maymunah, wife of the Prophet ﷺ, and mentioned it to her. Maymunah said to me: If you took their skins and made use of them, (that would be better for you). She asked: Is that lawful? She replied, Yes. Some people of the Quraysh passed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ dragging a sheep of theirs as big as an ass. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to them: Would that you took its skin. They said: It died a natural death. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Water and leaves of the mimosa flava purify it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4126)

[Machine] "Maimuna, the wife of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, narrated that some men from the Quraysh passed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ dragging a sheep that resembled a donkey.
