حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْأَزْهَرِ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ جَمِيلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : " مَنْ يَأْكُلُ الْغُرَابَ ، وَقَدْ سَمَّاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاسِقًا ، وَاللَّهِ مَا هُوَ مِنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ " .
´It was narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said:` “Who eats crows? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) called them vermin, By Allah, they are not from among the good and permissible things.”
Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊
In the hadith, the following creatures are described as “fasiq” (vicious or harmful):
the snake, the scorpion, the rat, the kite (a type of bird of prey), and the biting dog. (Sahih Muslim, Chapter: What is recommended for the muhrim and others to kill of vermin in the sacred and non-sacred precincts, Hadith: 1198)
➋
The crow referred to here is the one that has white coloring on its back and belly.
In the hadith, it is called “al-ghurab al-abqa‘.” (Sahih Muslim, reference as above)
➌
Those creatures which have been commanded to be killed are unlawful (haram), because if they were lawful (halal), they would be slaughtered (dhabh) rather than simply killed.
