Hadith 317

317 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ: ثنا الزُّهْرِيُّ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرَّ بِشَاةٍ لِمَوْلَاةِ مَيْمُونَةَ قَدْ أُعْطِيَتْهَا مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ مَيِّتَةً فَقَالَ: «مَا عَلَي أَهْلِ هَذِهِ لَوْ أَخَذُوا إِهَابَهَا فَدَبَغُوهُ، فَانْتَفَعُوا بِهِ» فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ: إِنَّهَا مَيِّتَةٌ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّمَا حُرِّمَ أَكْلُهَا» فَقِيلَ لِسُفْيَانَ: فَإِنَّ مَعْمَرًا لَا يَقُولُ فِيهِ «فَدَبَغُوهُ» وَيَقُولُ: كَانَ الزُّهْرِيُّ يَنْكِرُ الدِّبَاغَ، فَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ: لَكِنِّي قَدْ حَفِظْتُهُ، وَإِنَّمَا أَرَدْنَا مِنْهُ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَةَ الَّتِي لَمْ يَقُلْهَا غَيْرُهُ «إِنَّمَا حُرِّمَ أَكْلُهَا» وَكَانَ سُفْيَانُ رُبَّمَا لَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ مَيْمُونَةَ فَإِذَا وَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ فِيهِ مَيْمُونَةُ

Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates from Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her): Once, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a goat belonging to Sayyidah Maymunah’s slave-girl, which had died, and it had been given to her slave-girl as charity. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Its owner will not be harmed if he takes its skin, tans it, and makes use of it.” They said: O Messenger of Allah! It is dead. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “It has been made unlawful to eat it.” Sufyan was told: Ma‘mar, when narrating this report, does not use these words: “They should tan it.” He says: Zuhri used to deny the wording about tanning, so Sufyan said: I have memorized it in this way, and we especially focus on those words in this narration which no one else has narrated, namely the words: “It has been made unlawful to eat it.” The narrator named Sufyan sometimes does not mention Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) in this, and when he was alerted to this, he said: Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) is mentioned in it.
