Authentic 3 scholars’ grades Jami' at-Tirmidhi 1727

Narrator:Ibn ‘Abbās

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، يَقُولُ مَاتَتْ شَاةٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لأَهْلِهَا ‏

"‏ أَلاَ نَزَعْتُمْ جِلْدَهَا ثُمَّ دَبَغْتُمُوهُ فَاسْتَمْتَعْتُمْ بِهِ ‏"

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

"A sheep died so the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to its owners: 'Why dont you remove its skin, then tan it so you can have something useful from it."

[Abu 'Eisa said:] There are narrations on this topic from Salamah bin Al-Muhabbaq, Maimunah, and 'Aishah. The Hadith of Ibn 'Abbas is Hasan Sahih. Similar to this has been reported through other routes from Ibn 'Abbas from the Prophet (ﷺ). And it has been related from Ibn 'Abbas from Maimunah, from the Prophet (ﷺ), and, it has been related from him from Sawdah. I heard Muhammad saying the Hadith of Ibn 'Abbas from Maimunah from the Prophet (ﷺ) were correct. And he said: "It implies that it was reported from Ibn 'Abbas from Maimunah from the Prophet (ﷺ), and that Ibn 'Abbas reported it from the Prophet (ﷺ), and he did not mention Maimunah in it."

[Abu 'Eisa said:] This is acted upon according to most of the people of knowledge, and it is the view of Sufyan At-Thawri, Ibn Al-Mubarak, Ash-Shafi'i, Ahmad, and Ishaq.

Reported by At-Tirmidhi (No. 1727).

قَوْلُهُ : ( أَلَا نَزَعْتُمْ جِلْدَهَا ثُمَّ دَبَغْتُمُوهُ فَاسْتَمْتَعْتُمْ بِهِ ) فِيهِ دَلِيلٌ عَلَى أَنَّ جُلُودَ الْمَيْتَةِ لَا يَجُوزُ الِاسْتِمْتَاعُ بِهَا أَيَّ اِسْتِمْتَاعٍ كَانَ إِلَّا بَعْدَ الدِّبَاغِ , وَأَمَّا قَبْلَ الدِّبَاغِ فَلَا يَجُوزُ الِانْتِفَاعُ كَالْبَيْعِ وَغَيْرِهِ , وَهُوَ الْقَوْلُ الرَّاجِحُ الْمُعَوَّلُ عَلَيْهِ. وَلَمْ يَقَعْ فِي رِوَايَةِ الْبُخَارِيِّ وَالنَّسَائِيِّ ذِكْرُ الدِّبَاغِ فَهِيَ مَحْمُولَةٌ عَلَى الرِّوَايَةِ الْمُقَيَّدَةِ بِالدِّبَاغِ.…
