1729. 'Abdullāh bin 'Ukaim said: "A letter came to us from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ (saying: 'Do not use the skins of dead animals, nor tendons.'") (Hasan)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan. This Hadīth has been related from 'Abdullāh bin 'Ukaim
from some Shuyūkh of his, and this is not acted upon according to most of the people of knowledge. And this Hadīth has been related from ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Ukaim, that he said: “A letter came to us from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ two months before he died.”
He said: I heard Aḥmad bin Al-Ḥasan saying: “Aḥmad bin Ḥanbal followed this Hadīth due to it mentioning that it was two months before he ﷺ died. Then Aḥmad left this Hadīth because of their Idtirāb in its chain, since some of them reported it, saying: ‘From ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Ukaim from some Shuyūkh of his from Juhainah.”’

Commentary
The majority of the scholars hold the Hadīth to mean that it is not in order to make use of the dead skin before tanning.
