It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! When I eat meat, my desire for women is aroused and lust overcomes me, so I have made meat unlawful for myself." Thereupon Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed this verse: "O you who believe! Do not make unlawful the good things that Allah has made lawful for you, and do not transgress; indeed, Allah does not love the transgressors. And eat of what Allah has provided you, lawful and good." [Surah al-Ma'idah: 88]
