Making Use of Resources

SUMMARY: The Prophet suggested to Maimunah to make use of the skin of a dead sheep.

Ibn 'Abbas said: "The Prophet passed by a sheep belonging to Maimunah that had died and said: 'Why don't you take its skin and tan it and make use of it'?"
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ مَرَّ النَّبِيُّ بِشَاةٍ لِمَيْمُونَةَ مَيِّتَةٍ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ أَلاَّ أَخَذْتُمْ إِهَابَهَا فَدَبَغْتُمْ فَانْتَفَعْتُمْ

Make use of resources available

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of resourcefulness and utilizing resources. The Prophet passed by a sheep belonging to Maimunah that had died and suggested that she take its skin and tan it so that it can be used for something else. This teaches us the importance of not wasting resources, even if they are seemingly insignificant, as everything has some value or purpose. We should always strive to make use of whatever we have in order to benefit ourselves or others around us, as this is what Allah expects from us. We should also remember that Allah will reward those who are resourceful with more blessings in this life and the hereafter.
