أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمَحْبُوبِيُّ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، ثنا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ، ثنا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي لَيْلَى، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُكَيْمٍ، قَالَ: قُرِئَ عَلَيْنَا كِتَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " أَنْ لَا تَنْتَفِعُوا مِنَ الْمَيْتَةِ بِإِهَابٍ، وَلَا عَصَبٍ ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Ukaym (may Allah be pleased with him): A letter of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was read out to us, and it said: "Do not benefit from the skin of a dead animal, nor from its sinews."
وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا حَفْصُ بْنُ ⦗٢٣⦘ عُمَرَ، ثنا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُكَيْمٍ، قَالَ: قُرِئَ عَلَيْنَا كِتَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِأَرْضِ جُهَيْنَةَ وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ شَابٌّ " أَنْ لَا تَسْتَمْتِعُوا مِنَ الْمَيْتَةِ بِإِهَابٍ، وَلَا عَصَبٍ ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Ukaym (may Allah be pleased with him): A letter of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was read out to us in the land of Juhaynah, when I was a young man, and it was written in it: "Do not make use of the skin of a dead animal, nor of its sinews."
وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ مَوْلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ، ثنا الثَّقَفِيُّ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ عُتَيْبَةَ، أَنَّهُ انْطَلَقَ هُوَ وَأُنَاسٌ مَعَهُ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُكَيْمٍ رَجُلٍ مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ - قَالَ الْحَكَمُ: فَدَخَلُوا وَقَعَدْتُ عَلَى الْبَابِ - فَخَرَجُوا إِلِيَّ فَأَخْبَرُونِي، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُكَيْمٍ، أَخْبَرَهُمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَتَبَ إِلَى جُهَيْنَةَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ بِشَهْرٍ " أَلَّا تَنْتَفِعُوا مِنَ الْمَيْتَةِ بِإِهَابٍ، وَلَا عَصَبٍ ". قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى: وَقَدْ قِيلَ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ: قَبْلَ وَفَاتِهِ بِأَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا، وَقِيلَ: عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُكَيْمٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَشْيَخَةٌ لَنَا مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَتَبَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَذَلِكَ يَرِدُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ تَعَالَى.
(a) Some people came to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Ukaym (may Allah be pleased with him), and he told them that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) wrote to the people of the tribe of Juhaynah one month before his death: "Do not benefit from the skin of a dead animal, nor from its sinews."
(b) Imam al-Bayhaqi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: This hadith has also come through another chain, whose wording is that he (peace and blessings be upon him) wrote this letter forty days before his death. It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Ukaym (may Allah be pleased with him): The elders of our tribe Juhaynah told us that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wrote to them. This will be mentioned later, if Allah wills.

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارٍ السُّكَّرِيُّ بِبَغْدَادَ، أنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الشَّافِعِيُّ، ثنا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْأَزْهَرِ، ثنا الْمُفَضَّلُ بْنُ غَسَّانَ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا يَعْنى يَحْيَى بْنَ مَعِينٍ: حَدِيثُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُكَيْمٍ: جَاءَنَا كِتَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " أَلَّا تَنْتَفِعُوا مِنَ الْمَيْتَةِ بِإِهَابٍ، وَلَا عَصَبٍ " فِي حَدِيثِ ثِقَاتِ النَّاسِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَصْحَابُنَا، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَتَبَ: " أَلَّا تَنْتَفِعُوا ". قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: يَعْنِي بِهِ أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: تَعْلِيلَ الْحَدِيثِ بِذَلِكَ وَهُوَ مَحْمُولٌ عِنْدَنَا عَلَى مَا قَبْلَ الدَّبْغِ بِدَلِيلِ مَا هُوَ أَصَحُّ مِنْهُ فِي الْأَبْوَابِ الَّتِي تَلِيهِ.
Yahya bin Ma'in (may Allah have mercy on him) said that the hadith of Abdullah bin Ukaym (may Allah be pleased with him), "The letter of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us (in which it was written): Do not benefit from the skin of a dead animal, nor from its sinews", has been narrated to us by our companions with another strong chain, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wrote: "Do not benefit."
Al-Shaykh (al-Bayhaqi) (may Allah have mercy on him) said: By this, Abu Zakariya (may Allah have mercy on him) meant to point out a hidden defect ('illah) in this hadith; and according to us, it is understood as referring to (the skin) before tanning. The evidence for this is the hadith narrated (with) authentic (chains) in the following chapters.
