عَنْ سَالِمٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ لَقِيَ زَيْدَ بْنَ عَمْرِو بْنِ نُفَيْلٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بِأَسْفَلِ بَلْدَحَ وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْوَحْيُ فَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُفْرَةً فِيهَا لَحْمٌ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَأْكُلَ مِنْهَا وَقَالَ إِنِّي لَا آكُلُ مِمَّا تَذْبَحُونَ عَلَى أَنْصَابِكُمْ وَلَا آكُلُ إِلَّا مَا ذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَحَدَّثَ هَذَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) met Zaid bin Amr bin Nufail at the lower side of the Baldah valley. This was before revelation had descended upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) presented a dining mat before Zaid, and meat was also placed on it. However, Zaid refused to eat and said: "I do not eat that which you slaughter in the name of your idols. I only eat that upon which Allah’s name is mentioned." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated this hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … In this hadith, it is not clarified whether the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam himself ate this meat or not. Suppose that he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did partake of it, then we will consider Zayd bin Amr’s statement as his personal opinion, because he made this statement in light of his own reasoning. The people of the Age of Ignorance (Jahiliyyah) possessed some remnants of the religion of Ibrahim alayhis salam, one of which was that carrion (dead meat) was forbidden. However, among them, there was no such ruling that an animal over which Allah Ta’ala’s name was not pronounced was also forbidden.
