It was narrated to me by Abu al-Tahir and Harmalah; they said: Ibn Wahb narrated to us; Yunus informed me, from Ibn Shihab, from Ubayd Allah ibn Abd Allah ibn Utbah, from Ibn Abbas, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) found a dead sheep that had been given as charity to a freed slave woman of Maymunah. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Why did you not make use of its skin?" They said: "It is carrion (dead meat)." He said: "Only its eating has been made unlawful."
