[Machine] "Maimuna, the wife of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, narrated that some men from the Quraysh passed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ dragging a sheep that resembled a donkey. The Prophet ﷺ then said to them, 'If you had taken its wool?' They replied, 'It is dead.' He said, 'Water and dung purify it.'"

some men of Quraish passed by the Messenger of Allah dragging a sheep the size of a donkey. He said to them: "Why don't you take its skin?" They said: "It is dead meat." The Messenger of Allah said: "Purify it with water and Qaraz."

I had some sheep at Uhud, and they began to die. I then entered upon Maymunah, wife of the Prophet ﷺ, and mentioned it to her. Maymunah said to me: If you took their skins and made use of them, (that would be better for you). She asked: Is that lawful? She replied, Yes. Some people of the Quraysh passed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ dragging a sheep of theirs as big as an ass. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to them: Would that you took its skin. They said: It died a natural death. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Water and leaves of the mimosa flava purify it.
