Sahih al-Bukhari 2221
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ صَالِحٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ شِهَابٍ، أَنَّ عُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَرَّ بِشَاةٍ مَيِّتَةٍ فَقَالَ " هَلاَّ اسْتَمْتَعْتُمْ بِإِهَابِهَا ". قَالُوا إِنَّهَا مَيِّتَةٌ. قَالَ " إِنَّمَا حَرُمَ أَكْلُهَا ".
Zuhayr ibn Harb narrated to us: Yaqub ibn Ibrahim narrated to us: My father narrated to us, from Salih, who said: Ibn Shihab narrated to me that Ubayd Allah ibn Abdullah informed him that Abdullah ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, informed him that the Messenger of Allah passed by a dead sheep and said: “Why did you not make use of its hide?” They said, “It is carrion.” He replied, “Only eating it has been forbidden.”
Translation notes
The Prophet asks about making use of the hide and clarifies that the prohibition stated here concerns eating the carcass. The Arabic does not specify processing or tanning the hide.
