حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ بْنِ صَبِيحٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دُكَيْنٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ شَرِيكٍ الْمَكِّيَّ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الشَّعْثَاءِ ،عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : " كَانَ أَهْلُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَأْكُلُونَ أَشْيَاءَ وَيَتْرُكُونَ أَشْيَاءَ تَقَذُّرًا ، فَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى نَبِيَّهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَأَنْزَلَ كِتَابَهُ ، وَأَحَلَّ حَلَالَهُ ، وَحَرَّمَ حَرَامَهُ ، فَمَا أَحَلَّ فَهُوَ حَلَالٌ ، وَمَا حَرَّمَ فَهُوَ حَرَامٌ ، وَمَا سَكَتَ عَنْهُ فَهُوَ عَفْوٌ ، وَتَلَا : قُلْ لا أَجِدُ فِي مَا أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ مُحَرَّمًا سورة الأنعام آية 145 إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ " .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The people of pre-Islamic times used to eat some things and leave others alone, considering them unclean. Then Allah sent His Prophet ﷺ and sent down His Book, marking some things lawful and others unlawful; so what He made lawful is lawful, what he made unlawful is unlawful, and what he said nothing about is allowable. And he recited: "Say: I find not in the message received by me by inspiration any (meat) forbidden to be eaten by one who wishes to eat it. . . . " up to the end of the verse.
