[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "The tanning of the animal skin is its purification, and in the story of the hadith, there is evidence that it is referring to the skin of what is eaten as meat. And in its methods, there is evidence that the intended meaning of tanning is its purity. In the narration of Mu'adh ibn Hisham from his father in this hadith, he called for water from a woman, and she said, 'I only have water in a container for my dead animal.' He said, 'Have you not tanned it?' She said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Then its tanning is its purification.'"  

البيهقي:٧٠كَمَا أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ فُورَكٍ أنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ نا يُونُسُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا هِشَامٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ جَوْنِ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْمُحَبِّقِ الْهُذَلِيِّ
