حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحِيمِ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، قَالَ : نَادَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الصُّفَّةِ حِينَ انْصَرَفَ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ أَرْضَنَا أَرْضٌ مَضَبَّةٌ ، فَمَا تَرَى فِي الضِّبَاب ؟ ، قَالَ : " بَلَغَنِي أَنَّهُ أُمَّةً مُسِخَتْ " فَلَمْ يَأْمُرْ بِهِ ، وَلَمْ يَنْهَ عَنْهُ .
´It was narrated that Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri said:` “A man from among Ahlus-Suffah called the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) when he had finished the prayer, saying: ‘O Messenger of Allah! Our land is a land infested with mastigures. What do you think of (eating) mastigures?’ He said: ‘I have heard that a nation was transformed.’ He did not tell us to eat them, and he did not forbid that.”
Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊ (Fama Tara)
What is your opinion?
This means: What is your judgment— is it lawful (halal) or unlawful (haram)?
➋ (Balaghani)
This information has reached me.
From this word, it is understood that this matter did not become known to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) through revelation (wahy), but it is possible that he heard it from the scholars of the Jews.
Since such matters cannot be confirmed or denied until their truth or falsehood is known through revelation, therefore the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) did not give a definitive ruling.
➌ It is permissible, as a precaution, to avoid something doubtful; however, it cannot be explicitly declared unlawful (haram).
