حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا فُضَيْلُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عُقْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَقِيَ زَيْدَ بْنَ عَمْرِو بْنِ نُفَيْلٍ بِأَسْفَلِ بَلْدَحٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْوَحْيُ , فَقُدِّمَتْ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُفْرَةٌ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَأْكُلَ مِنْهَا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ زَيْدٌ : إِنِّي لَسْتُ آكُلُ مِمَّا تَذْبَحُونَ عَلَى أَنْصَابِكُمْ وَلَا آكُلُ إِلَّا مَا ذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ , وَأَنَّ زَيْدَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو كَانَ يَعِيبُ عَلَى قُرَيْشٍ ذَبَائِحَهُمْ ، وَيَقُولُ : الشَّاةُ خَلَقَهَا اللَّهُ وَأَنْزَلَ لَهَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ الْمَاءَ وَأَنْبَتَ لَهَا مِنَ الْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ تَذْبَحُونَهَا عَلَى غَيْرِ اسْمِ اللَّهِ إِنْكَارًا لِذَلِكَ وَإِعْظَامًا لَهُ " .
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: The Prophet met Zaid bin 'Amr bin Nufail in the bottom of (the valley of) Baldah before any Divine Inspiration came to the Prophet. A meal was presented to the Prophet but he refused to eat from it. (Then it was presented to Zaid) who said, "I do not eat anything which you slaughter in the name of your stone idols. I eat none but those things on which Allah's Name has been mentioned at the time of slaughtering." Zaid bin 'Amr used to criticize the way Quraish used to slaughter their animals, and used to say, "Allah has created the sheep and He has sent the water for it from the sky, and He has grown the grass for it from the earth; yet you slaughter it in other than the Name of Allah. He used to say so, for he rejected that practice and considered it as something abominable.

Hadith Commentary:
It is narrated from Sa'id bin Zayd radi Allahu anhu that Zayd bin Amr and Waraqah bin Nawfal went to Syria in search of the true religion. Waraqah bin Nawfal, upon reaching there, became a Christian, but Zayd refused to accept Christianity. Then they came to Mosul, where a priest also invited them to become Christian, but he did not accept this offer either. (Fath al-Bari: 7/181)

Hadith Commentary:
The text of the Qur’an: ﴿وَ مَا أُھِل لِغیرِ اللہ﴾ (al-Ma’idah: 3)
renders unlawful the meat of all those animals which are offered as a vow (nadhar) for the sake of drawing near to anyone other than Allah.
Included in this are also the goats dedicated to Madar and the animals set free in the name of Sayyid Salar, as is the custom among the people of innovation (ahl al-bid‘ah).
Baldah is a place in the Hijaz, near Makkah.
The Zayd ibn ‘Amr mentioned in the narration is the father of Sa‘id ibn Zayd, and Sa‘id is among the ten who were given glad tidings of Paradise (al-‘asharah al-mubashsharah).

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
In one narration, it is mentioned that the dining mat was presented to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
The way to reconcile these narrations is that the people of that place presented the dining mat to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) as a gesture of hospitality and honor, and he (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) then presented it to Zayd bin Amr. After that, Zayd addressed the people and said what he intended to say.
(2)
From this hadith, it is understood that any animal slaughtered in the name of idols is unlawful (haram).
The statement of Allah, the Exalted, is:
“That which is made famous by the name of other than Allah is also unlawful.” ( al-Baqarah: 173)
According to this verse, two types of animals fall under this ruling:
٭ Those animals that are made famous by the name of other than Allah, even if the name of Allah was mentioned at the time of slaughter.
٭ Those animals that are slaughtered in the name of other than Allah, whether it is in the name of a pir (spiritual leader) or a wali (saint).
In any case, any animal slaughtered at shrines is unlawful (haram), even if it is done in the name of Allah.
(3)
It should be noted that in the hadith, Zayd bin Amr is the father of Sa’id bin Zayd.
This noble person lived according to the religion of Ibrahim (alayhis salam) during the pre-Islamic era of ignorance, and his son, Sa’id (radi Allahu anhu), is among the ten who were given glad tidings of Paradise (asharah mubashsharah).
