4126. It was narrated from 'Abdullāh bin Mālik bin Ḥudhāfah that his mother, Al-'Alīyah bint Subaī, said: "I had some sheep in Uḥud and they died. I entered upon Maimūnah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, and told her about that. Maimūnah said to me: 'Why don't you take their skins and make some use of them?' I said: 'Is that permissible?' She said: 'Yes. Some men of the Quraish passed by the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, dragging a sheep of theirs like a donkey, and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to them: "Why don't you make use of its skin?" They said: "It is dead." The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "It may be purified by water and leaves of Qaraz."[1] (Hasan)
