Sahih al-Bukhari 1492 (Book 24, Hadith 92) #1431
Utilizing Resources from Charity

SUMMARY: The Prophet saw a dead sheep which had been given in charity to a freed slave-girl and advised them to make use of its hide.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The Prophet saw a dead sheep which had been given in charity to a freed slave-girl of Maimuna, the wife of the Prophet . The Prophet said, "Why don't you get the benefit of its hide?" They said, "It is dead". He replied, "Only to eat (its meat) is illegal".
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُفَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبِّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ وَجَدَ النَّبِيُّ شَاةً مَيِّتَةً أُعْطِيَتْهَا مَوْلاَةٌ لِمَيْمُونَةَ مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ هَلاَّ انْتَفَعْتُمْ بِجِلْدِهَا ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالُوا إِنَّهَا مَيْتَةٌ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّمَا حَرُمَ أَكْلُهَا

This hadith is about the importance of utilizing resources that are given in charity. The Prophet saw a dead sheep which had been given as charity to a freed slave-girl and advised them to make use of its hide. This teaches us that we should not waste any resources, even if it is something small like the hide of an animal, but instead find ways to benefit from it. We should also be thankful for whatever we receive in charity and try our best to make full use of it.
