Abu al-Malih narrates from his father (Sayyiduna Usamah bin Umayr, may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade (the use of) the skins of predatory animals.

A similar report is narrated from the father of Abu al-Malih. A shaykh from Basra narrated it from Muhammad bin al-Minhal and said in it "from Shu'bah", which is an error on his part. This chain is sahih (authentic): Abu al-Malih's name is Amir bin Usamah, and his father, Usamah bin Umayr (may Allah be pleased with him), is a Companion from Banu Lihyan whose hadith are recorded in the Musnad collections, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.
