English translation

4253. It was narrated from Maimunah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, that some men of Quraish passed by the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ dragging a sheep the size of a donkey. He said to them: "Why don't you take its skin?" They said: "It is dead meat." The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Purify it with water and Qaraz."[1] (Hasan)

Arabic text

4248 - أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، عَنْ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، وَاللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَالِكِ بْنِ حُذَافَةَ، حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ الْعَالِيَةِ بِنْتِ سُبَيْعٍ، أَنَّ مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَدَّثَتْهَا، أَنَّهُ مَرَّ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رِجَالٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ يَجُرُّونَ شَاةً لَهُمْ مِثْلَ الْحِصَانِ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَوْ أَخَذْتُمْ إِهَابَهَا؟» قَالُوا: إِنَّهَا مَيْتَةٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يُطَهِّرُهَا الْمَاءُ وَالْقَرَظُ»

    [1] Qaraz: the leaves of mimosa flava used for tanning

Commentary

Some scholars have argued on the basis of this narration that during the process of tanning, it is essential to make use of water. And Allāh Knows best!
