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 ، عَنِ الْعَالِيَةِ بِنْتِ سُبَيْعٍ ، أَنَّ مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَدَّثَتْهَا ، أَنَّهُ مَرَّ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رِجَالٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ يَجُرُّونَ شَاةً لَهُمْ مِثْلَ الْحِصَانِ ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَوْ أَخَذْتُمْ إِهَابَهَا " ، قَالُوا : إِنَّهَا مَيْتَةٌ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : يُطَهِّرُهَا الْمَاءُ وَالْقَرَظُ " .
´It was narrated from Maimunah, the wife of the Prophet, that:` some men of Quraish passed by the Messenger of Allah 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 Allah said: "Purify it with water and Qaraz."
