"The Prophet passed by a sheep belonging to Maimunah that had died and said: 'Why don't you take its skin and tan it and make use of it'?" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4238)   

الكبرى للنسائي:٤٥٥٠أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنْ عَطَاءٍ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ مَرَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِشَاةٍ لِمَيْمُونَةَ مَيِّتَةٍ فَقَالَ «أَلَا أَخَذْتُمْ إِهَابَهَا فَدَبَغْتُمُوهُ فَانْتَفَعْتُمْ بِهِ؟»

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.
