The letter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was read out to us in the territory of Juhaynah when I was a young boy: Do not make use of the skin or sinew of an animal which died a natural death.

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُفَضَّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُكَيْمٍ قَالَ

قُرِئَ عَلَيْنَا كِتَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ أَرْضِ جُهَيْنَةَ وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ شَابٌّ «أَنْ لَا تَنْتَفِعُوا مِنَ الْمَيْتَةِ بِشَيْءٍ بِإِهَابٍ وَلَا عَصْبٍ»
