Sunan Abi Dawud 4126 (Book 34, Hadith 107) #24416
Utilizing Resources and Purifying Dead Animals

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) teaching people to make use of the resources available to them, and how to purify a dead animal.

Al-Aliyah, daughter of Subay', said: I had some sheep at Uhud, and they began to die. I then entered upon Maymunah, wife of the Prophet , and mentioned it to her. Maymunah said to me: If you took their skins and made use of them, (that would be better for you). She asked: Is that lawful? She replied, Yes. Some people of the Quraysh passed by the Messenger of Allah dragging a sheep of theirs as big as an ass. The Messenger of Allah said to them: Would that you took its skin. They said: It died a natural death. The Messenger of Allah said: Water and leaves of the mimosa flava purify it.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْحَارِثِ - عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ حُذَافَةَ، حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أُمِّهِ الْعَالِيَةِ بِنْتِ سُبَيْعٍ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ كَانَ لِي غَنَمٌ بِأُحُدٍ فَوَقَعَ فِيهَا الْمَوْتُ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهَا فَقَالَتْ لِي مَيْمُونَةُ لَوْ أَخَذْتِ جُلُودَهَا فَانْتَفَعْتِ بِهَا ‏.‏ فَقَالَتْ أَوَيَحِلُّ ذَلِكَ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ مَرَّ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ رِجَالٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ يَجُرُّونَ شَاةً لَهُمْ مِثْلَ الْحِمَارِ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ لَوْ أَخَذْتُمْ إِهَابَهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا إِنَّهَا مَيْتَةٌ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ يُطَهِّرُهَا الْمَاءُ وَالْقَرَظُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's teachings on utilizing resources and purifying dead animals. In this hadith, Al-Aliyah mentioned that her sheep were dying at Uhud. She then went to Maymunah, wife of the Prophet, who advised her to take their skins and make use of them. When asked if it was lawful, she replied yes. Later on some people from Quraysh passed by with a sheep as big as an ass that had died naturally. The Prophet then told them they should take its skin and purify it with water and leaves from a mimosa flava tree. This teaches us that we should always try our best to utilize all resources available in order for us not to waste anything given by Allah SWT; also we must be aware of how we can properly cleanse any dead animal so it can be used for consumption or other purposes without causing harm or danger for ourselves or others around us.
