حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ وَحَرْمَلَةُ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَجَدَ شَاةً مَيْتَةً أُعْطِيَتْهَا مَوْلَاةٌ لِمَيْمُونَةَ مِنْ الصَّدَقَةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَلَّا انْتَفَعْتُمْ بِجِلْدِهَا قَالُوا إِنَّهَا مَيْتَةٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا حَرُمَ أَکْلُهَا
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 807
The freed slave-girl of Maimuna was given a goat in charity but it died. The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) happened to pass by that (carcass). Upon this be said: 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).
