حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ مَاتَتْ شَاةٌ لِسَوْدَةَ بِنْتِ زَمْعَةَ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَاتَتْ فُلَانَةُ يَعْنِي الشَّاةَ فَقَالَ فَلَوْلَا أَخَذْتُمْ مَسْكَهَا فَقَالَتْ نَأْخُذُ مَسْكَ شَاةٍ قَدْ مَاتَتْ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قُلْ لَا أَجِدُ فِيمَا أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ مُحَرَّمًا عَلَى طَاعِمٍ يَطْعَمُهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ مَيْتَةً أَوْ دَمًا مَسْفُوحًا أَوْ لَحْمَ خِنْزِيرٍ فَإِنَّكُمْ لَا تَطْعَمُونَهُ إِنْ تَدْبُغُوهُ فَتَنْتَفِعُوا بِهِ فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهَا فَسَلَخَتْ مَسْكَهَا فَدَبَغَتْهُ فَأَخَذَتْ مِنْهُ قِرْبَةً حَتَّى تَخَرَّقَتْ عِنْدَهَا
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 3027
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said: A sheep belonging to Sawdah bint Zam'ah died and sire said: O Messenger of Allah, So and so - meaning the sheep - has died. He said: "Why don't you take its skin?" She said: Can we take the skin of a sheep that died (of natural causes, with- out being slaughtered properly)? The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said to her: "Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, only said: 'Say (O Muhammad (PBUH)): "I find not in that which has been revealed to me anything forbidden to be eaten by one who wishes to eat it, unless it be Maitah (a dead animal) or blood poured forth (by slaugh- tering or the like), or the flesh of swine (pork)' [al-An'am 6:145], and you are not going to eat it; if you tan it, then you can make use of it." So she sent for it, then she skinned it and tanned it, and made a water- skin from it that she kept until it wore out.
