Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ أَنَّ عَطَاءً كَتْب يَذْكُرُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَرَسُولَهُ حَرَّمَ بَيْعَ الْخَنَازِيرِ وَبَيْعَ الْمَيْتَةِ وَبَيْعَ الْخَمْرِ وَبَيْعَ الْأَصْنَامِ وَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا تَرَى فِي شُحُومِ الْمَيْتَةِ فَإِنَّهَا يُدْهَنُ بِهَا السُّفُنُ وَالْجُلُودُ وَيُسْتَصْبَحُ بِهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَاتَلَ اللَّهُ يَهُودَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمَّا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ شُحُومَهَا أَخَذُوهُ فَجَمَّلُوهُ ثُمَّ بَاعُوهُ فَأَكَلُوا ثَمَنَهُ.
English Translation
Abu Asim al-Dahhak ibn Makhlad told us, from Abd al-Hamid ibn Ja'far, he said: Yazid ibn Abi Habib informed me that Ata wrote mentioning that he heard Jabir ibn Abdullah say: I heard the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, say in the year of the Conquest: "God, Mighty and Majestic, and His Messenger have forbidden the sale of pigs, the sale of carrion, the sale of wine, and the sale of idols." A man said: "O Messenger of God, what do you think of the fat of carrion, for ships and hides are greased with it, and it is used for lighting?" The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "May God fight the Jews. When God forbade them its fat, they took it, rendered it down, then sold it and ate its price."
