Why did you not take off its skin? You could put it to use, after tanning it. They (the Companions) said: It was dead. Upon, this he (the Messenger of Allah) said: Only its eating is prohibited. Abu bakr and Ibn Umar in their narrations said: It is narrated from Maimuna (may Allah be pleased with her).  

تُصُدِّقَ عَلَى مَوْلاَةٍ لِمَيْمُونَةَ بِشَاةٍ فَمَاتَتْ فَمَرَّ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ هَلاَّ أَخَذْتُمْ إِهَابَهَا فَدَبَغْتُمُوهُ فَانْتَفَعْتُمْ بِهِ فَقَالُوا إِنَّهَا مَيْتَةٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا حَرُمَ أَكْلُهَا قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ فِي حَدِيثِهِمَا عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ ؓ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw a dead goat, which had been given in charity to the freed slave-girl of Maimuna. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Why don't you make use of its skin? They (the Companions around the Holy Prophet) said: It is dead. Upon this he said: It is the eating (of the dead animal) which is prohibited.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَجَدَ شَاةً مَيْتَةً أُعْطِيَتْهَا مَوْلاَةٌ لِمَيْمُونَةَ مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ هَلاَّ انْتَفَعْتُمْ بِجِلْدِهَا قَالُوا إِنَّهَا مَيْتَةٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا حَرُمَ أَكْلُهَا  

This hadith is narrated by Ibn Shihab with the same chain of transmitters as transmitted by Yunus.  

عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ بِنَحْوِ رِوَايَةِ يُونُسَ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ happened to pass by a goat thrown (away) which had been in fact given to the freed slave-girl of Maimuna as charity. Upon this the Messenger of Allah (way peace he upon him) said: Why did they not get its skin? They had better tan it and make use of it.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَرَّ بِشَاةٍ مَطْرُوحَةٍ أُعْطِيَتْهَا مَوْلاَةٌ لِمَيْمُونَةَ مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَلاَّ أَخَذُوا إِهَابَهَا فَدَبَغُوهُ فَانْتَفَعُوا بِهِ  

Why did you not take off its skin and make use of that?  

أَنَّ دَاجِنَةً كَانَتْ لِبَعْضِ نِسَاءِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَمَاتَتْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَلاَّ أَخَذْتُمْ إِهَابَهَا فَاسْتَمْتَعْتُمْ بِهِ  

The Apostle of Allah ﷺ happened to pass by (the dead body) of the goat which belonged to the freed slave-girl of Maimuna and said: Why did you not make use of its skin?  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَرَّ بِشَاةٍ لِمَوْلاَةٍ لِمَيْمُونَةَ فَقَالَ أَلاَّ انْتَفَعْتُمْ بِإِهَابِهَا  

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: When the skin is tanned it becomes purified.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِذَا دُبِغَ الإِهَابُ فَقَدْ طَهُرَ  

This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas by another chain of transmitters.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِمِثْلِهِ يَعْنِي حَدِيثَ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَحْيَى  

I saw Ibn Wa'la al-Saba'i wear a fur. I touched it. He said: Why do you touch it? I asked Ibn 'Abbas saying: We are the inhabitants of the western regions, and there (live) with us Berbers and Magians. They bring with them rams and slaughter them, but we do not eat (the meat of the animals) slaughtered by them, and they come with skins full of fat. Upon this Ibn 'Abbas said: We asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about this and he said: Its tanning makes it pure.  

ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ قَدْ سَأَلْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ دِبَاغُهُ طَهُورُهُ  

I asked 'Abdullah b. 'Abbas saying: We are the inhabitants of the western regions. The Magians come to us with skins full of water and fat. He said: Drink. I said to him: Is it your own opinion? Ibn Abbas said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Tanning purifies it (the skin).  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ دِبَاغُهُ طَهُورُهُ
