ذِكْرُ إِبَاحَةِ الِانْتِفَاعِ بِجُلُودِ الْمَيْتَةِ بِنَفْعٍ مُطْلَقٍ

[Machine] A sheep died for the Prophet's wife. The Prophet came to her and she informed him about it. He said, "Did you not benefit from its skin?" She asked, "O Messenger of Allah, can one benefit from the skin of a dead animal?" The Messenger of Allah recited to her, "{Say, 'I do not find within that which was revealed to me [anything] forbidden to one who would eat it unless it be a dead animal} until the end of the verse. Indeed, you are not consuming it." Ibn Abbas said, "So she was sent to and she was skinned, and she made use of its skin."  

ابن حبّان:١٢٨٠أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْجُنَيْدِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

مَاتَتْ شَاةٌ لَزَوْجَةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَتَاهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَتْهُ فَقَالَ «أَلَا انْتَفَعْتُمْ بِمَسْكِهَا»؟ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَسْكُ مَيْتَةٍ؟ قَالَ فَقَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ {قُلْ لَا أَجِدُ فِيمَا أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ مُحَرَّمًا عَلَى طَاعِمٍ يَطْعَمُهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ مَيْتَةً} إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ إِنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ تَأْكُلُونَهُ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ «فَبَعَثَتْ إِلَيْهَا فَسُلِخَتْ فَجَعَلَتْ مِنْ مَسْكِهَا قِرْبَةً»

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, Fulanah, meaning the sheep, has died. He said, 'Why didn't you take its musk?'. She asked, 'Should we take the musk of a dead sheep?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her, 'Verily, Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has said: "Say, I do not find within that which was revealed to me [anything] forbidden to one who would eat it unless it be a dead animal or blood spilled out or the flesh of swine. Indeed, it is impure.'" So, you do not eat it if you dye it, so you may benefit from it.' So, she sent it to him, and he skinned it and dyed it for her until it got a puncture near it."

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, Fulanah, meaning the sheep, has died." He said, "Why didn't you take its hide?" She said, "So we took the hide of a sheep that died." The Prophet ﷺ said, "He only said, '{Say, 'I do not find within that which was revealed to me [anything] forbidden to one who would eat it, unless it be a dead animal or blood spilled out or the flesh of swine - for indeed, it is impure - or it be [that slaughtered in] disobedience, dedicated to other than Allah. But whoever is forced [by necessity], neither desiring [it] nor transgressing [its limit], there is no sin upon him. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.']' until the end of the verse. There is no harm in dyeing it so that you may benefit from it." He said, "So we sent it to her and she tanned its hide until it got burnt."

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, Fulanah (a woman's name) has died, meaning the sheep. He (the Prophet) said, 'Why don't you take its perfume?' She said, 'Can we take the perfume of a dead sheep?' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'He only said, "{Say: I find not in that which has been revealed to me anything forbidden to be eaten by one who wishes to eat it, unless it be a dead animal or blood poured forth}" (Quran 6:145). There is no harm in tanning it, so you can benefit from it.' She said, 'So we sent to her and she skinned its perfume and made it into a container until it was penetrated.'"

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, Fulanah (a person's name) has died, which means the sheep." He said, "Didn't you take its wool?" They replied, "Shall we take wool from a sheep that has died?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah says in what has been revealed to me, 'Say: "I do not find within that which has been revealed to me [anything] forbidden to one who would eat it unless it be a dead animal or blood spilled forth or the flesh of swine."' You do not feed it (the dead sheep) but rather you dye it and benefit from it." So, she sent it (the dead sheep) to him, and he skinned it and dyed it for her, so she made use of it until it wore out."

[Machine] A sheep died for Umm Al-Aswad, so she informed the Prophet ﷺ . The Prophet ﷺ said, "Tell me if there is anything forbidden in what has been revealed to me that a person feeds on except for dead meat or blood." until the end of the verse. He said, "You do not eat it, so I sent her to slaughter it." Ibn Abbas said, "They made its musk (perfume) as an offering, and I saw it after a year." Abu Al-Ahwas said, "O Umm Al-Aswad." The correct statement is "Sawdah."
