حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدُ بْنُ مُسَرْهَدٍ ، أَنَّ يَحْيَى بْنَ سَعِيدٍ ، وَإِسْمَاعِيل بْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَاهُمُ الْمَعْنَى ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ بْنِ أُسَامَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، " أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ جُلُودِ السِّبَاعِ " .
Abu al-Malih bin Usamah quoting his father said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade (the use of) the skins of beasts of prey.

Urdu marginal note:
Predatory animal skins are generally used by arrogant people, therefore their use has been prohibited, just as Muslim men have been prohibited from using gold and silk. The skins of lions, leopards, etc., were commonly used. It is possible that they were used without tanning, but this is a less likely possibility. The correct view is the first one.
