حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ النَّوْفَلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَائٌ مُنْذُ حِينٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ مَيْمُونَةَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ دَاجِنَةً کَانَتْ لِبَعْضِ نِسَائِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَمَاتَتْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَلَّا أَخَذْتُمْ إِهَابَهَا فَاسْتَمْتَعْتُمْ بِهِ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 810
Ibn Abbas reported: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) 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.
