أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِکِ بْنُ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ اللَّيْثِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ جَدِّي عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ يَعْنِي يَزِيدَ عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ أَبْصَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَاةً مَيِّتَةً لِمَوْلَاةٍ لِمَيْمُونَةَ وَکَانَتْ مِنْ الصَّدَقَةِ فَقَالَ لَوْ نَزَعُوا جِلْدَهَا فَانْتَفَعُوا بِهِ قَالُوا إِنَّهَا مَيْتَةٌ قَالَ إِنَّمَا حُرِّمَ أَکْلُهَا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4251
Ibn ‘Abbas said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم saw a dead sheep that belonged to the freed slave woman of Maimunah, and had come from the Sadaqah.” He said: “Why don’t you take off its hide and make use of it?” They said: “It is dead meat.” He said: “It is only unlawful to eat it.” (Sahih)
