Sahih al-Bukhari 6686 (Book 83, Hadith 63) #6430
Repurposing of Resources

SUMMARY: The Prophet's wife, Sauda, used a sheepskin to store dates until it became a worn out water skin.

Narrated Sauda: (the wife of the Prophet) One of our sheep died and we tanned its skin and kept on infusing dates in it till it was a worn out water skin.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُقَاتِلٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ عَنْ سَوْدَةَ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَتْ مَاتَتْ لَنَا شَاةٌ فَدَبَغْنَا مَسْكَهَا ثُمَّ مَا زِلْنَا نَنْبِذُ فِيهِ حَتَّى صَارَتْ شَنًّا‏.‏

This hadith speaks about the importance of repurposing resources. It is narrated by Sauda, the wife of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. In this hadith, she talks about how they used a sheepskin to store dates until it became a worn out water skin. This teaches us that we should be mindful and creative when using our resources so that we can make use of them for as long as possible and not waste them away. We should also think outside the box and come up with innovative ways to repurpose our resources in order to get more out of them than what was originally intended for them. By doing this, we can save money and help preserve our environment at the same time!
