It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her), informed him that one of the Mothers of the Believers had a domestic animal which died. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Why did you not take its skin and then derive benefit from it!"
(b) It was said: He (peace and blessings be upon him) singled out the skin as what may be benefited from.
