وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الصَّفَّارُ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ثنا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ ثنا سَيْفُ بْنُ هَارُونَ وَكَانَ مِنْ خِيَارِ خَلْقِ اللهِ مِنْ أَعْبَدِ النَّاسِ وَكَانَ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ يُعَظِّمُهُ وَكَانَ فَوْقَ أَخِيهِ ثنا سُلَيْمَانُ التَّيْمِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ عَنْ سَلْمَانَ الْفَارِسِيِّ ؓ قَالَ سَأَلْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ السَّمْنِ وَالْجُبْنِ وَالْفِرَاءِ فَقَالَ الْحَلَالُ مَا أَحَلَّ اللهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ وَالْحَرَامُ مَا حَرَّمَ ا��لهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ وَمَا سَكَتَ عَنْهُ فَهُوَ عَفْوٌ وَرَوَيْنَا ذَلِكَ فِيمَا مَضَى مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ عَنْ سَلْمَانَ مَرْفُوعًا وَرُوِيَ فِي ذَلِكَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَأَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ ؓ
English Translation
Salman al-Farisi (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about clarified butter, cheese, and fur garments. He said: 'The lawful is what Allah has made lawful in His Book, the forbidden is what Allah has made forbidden in His Book, and what He was silent about is pardoned.' This was also narrated from another chain from Salman in a marfu' form. It was also narrated from Ibn Abbas and Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with them).
