[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."  

الطبراني:١١٧٦٦ – حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ثنا مُسَدَّدٌ ثنا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

مَاتَتْ شَاةٌ لِأُمِّ الْأَسْوَدِ فَأَخْبَرَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ {قُلْ لَا أَجِدُ فِيمَا أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ مُحَرَّمًا عَلَى طَاعِمٍ يَطْعَمُهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ مَيْتَةً أَوْ دَمًا} إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ وَقَالَ «إِنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ تَأْكُلُونَهُ فَبَعَثَتْ إِلَيْهَا فَسَلَخَتْها» قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَجَعَلُوا مَسْكَهَا قِرْبَةً رَأَيْتُهَا بَعْدَ سَنَةٍ قَالَ أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ أُمُّ ألاسودِ وَإِنَّمَا الصَّوَابُ سَوْدَةُ

[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:١٢٨٠ – أَخْبَرَنَا 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»
