6. Muhammad ibn Yahya and others has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from ‘Asem ibn Humayd from Ali ibn al-Mighra’ who has said the following
“I once asked abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of dead animals if any benefit thereby is permissible. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, there is no lawful benefit in it.’ I then said, ‘We are told that the Messenger of Allah once passed by the dead body of a goat and said, ‘What has happened to the owners of this goat? If they could not benefit from its flesh they could benefit from its skin.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘That goat belonged to Sawdah, daughter of Zam‘ah, wife of the Holy prophet. It was an emaciated ewe and its flesh was not useable, so they left until it died. Thus, the Holy prophet, said, ‘If the owners could not benefit from its flesh why did they not benefit from its skin after slaughtering it properly.’”
6ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى وَغَيْرُهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ الْمَيْتَةُ يُنْتَفَعُ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ مِنْهَا قَالَ لاَ قُلْتُ بَلَغَنَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ الله (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) مَرَّ بِشَاةٍ مَيْتَةٍ فَقَالَ مَا كَانَ عَلَى أَهْلِ هَذِهِ الشَّاةِ إِذْ لَمْ يَنْتَفِعُوا بِلَحْمِهَا أَنْ يَنْتَفِعُوا بِإِهَابِهَا قَالَ تِلْكَ شَاةٌ لِسَوْدَةَ بِنْتِ زَمْعَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) وَكَانَتْ شَاةً مَهْزُولَةً لاَ يُنْتَفَعُ بِلَحْمِهَا فَتَرَكُوهَا حَتَّى مَاتَتْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) مَا كَانَ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا إِذْ لَمْ يَنْتَفِعُوا بِلَحْمِهَا أَنْ يَنْتَفِعُوا بِإِهَابِهَا أَنْ تُذَكَّى.
