Sunan Abi Dawud 4128 (Book 34, Hadith 109) #24418
Prohibiting the Use of Animal Skin and Sinew

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised people not to use the skin or sinew of an animal that died a natural death.

Al-Hakam ibn Uyaynah said that he went along with some people to Abdullah ibn Ukaym, a man of Juhaynah. al-Hakam said: They entered and I sat at the door. Then they came out and told me that Abdullah ibn Ukaym had informed them that the Messenger of Allah had written to Juhaynah one month before his death: Do not make use of the skin or sinew of an animal which died a natural death. Abu Dawud said: Al-Nadr b. Shumayl said: The skin is called ihab when it is not tanned and when it is tanned, it not called ihab but na,es shann and Qirbah (tanned skin or leather).
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، مَوْلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا الثَّقَفِيُّ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ عُتَيْبَةَ، أَنَّهُ انْطَلَقَ هُوَ وَنَاسٌ مَعَهُ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُكَيْمٍ - رَجُلٍ مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ - قَالَ الْحَكَمُ فَدَخَلُوا وَقَعَدْتُ عَلَى الْبَابِ فَخَرَجُوا إِلَىَّ فَأَخْبَرُونِي أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُكَيْمٍ أَخْبَرَهُمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَتَبَ إِلَى جُهَيْنَةَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ بِشَهْرٍ أَنْ لاَ يَنْتَفِعُوا مِنَ الْمَيْتَةِ بِإِهَابٍ وَلاَ عَصَبٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ فَإِذَا دُبِغَ لاَ يُقَالُ لَهُ إِهَابٌ إِنَّمَا يُسَمَّى شَنًّا وَقِرْبَةً قَالَ النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ يُسَمَّى إِهَابًا مَا لَمْ يُدْبَغْ

QUICK LESSONS:
Respect for animals, Kindness towards animals

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's advice to people not to make use of the skin or sinews of an animal that has died a natural death. He said that if they do so, it would be considered as disrespectful and unkind towards animals. The Prophet also mentioned that when an animal's skin is tanned, it is called naes shann and qirbah instead of ihab. This hadith teaches us to be kind and respectful towards animals by not using their skins or sinews after they have passed away naturally. We should also take care in how we treat animals while they are alive by providing them with proper food and shelter so that their lives can be comfortable until their natural end comes.
