(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
حُسَيْنٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا
عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ بَهْرَامَ ، عَنْ
شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ
عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : حَضَرَتْ عِصَابَةٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالُوا : يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ ، حَدِّثْنَا عَنْ خِلَالٍ نَسْأَلُكَ عَنْهُا ، لَا يَعْلَمُهُنَّ إِلَّا نَبِيٌّ , فَكَانَ فِيمَا سَأَلُوهُ ، أَيُّ الطَّعَامِ حَرَّمَ إِسْرَائِيلُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُنَزَّلَ التَّوْرَاةُ ؟ قَالَ : " فَأَنْشُدُكُمْ بِاللَّهِ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ التَّوْرَاةَ عَلَى مُوسَى ، هَلْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَعْقُوبَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام مَرِضَ مَرَضًا شَدِيدًا فَطَالَ سَقَمُهُ ، فَنَذَرَ لِلَّهِ نَذْرًا لَئِنْ شَفَاهُ اللَّهُ مِنْ سَقَمِهِ ، لَيُحَرِّمَنَّ أَحَبَّ الشَّرَابِ إِلَيْهِ ، وَأَحَبَّ الطَّعَامِ إِلَيْهِ ، فَكَانَ أَحَبَّ الطَّعَامِ إِلَيْهِ لُحْمَانُ الْإِبِلِ ، وَأَحَبَّ الشَّرَابِ إِلَيْهِ أَلْبَانُهَا ؟ " فَقَالُوا : اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a delegation of Jews came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Abul Qasim (peace and blessings be upon him)! We want to ask you a few things, please answer them for us, because only a prophet can know them. Among the questions they asked was this: Before the Torah was revealed, which food did Jacob (peace be upon him) make unlawful for himself? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I ask you by Allah, Who revealed the Torah to Moses (peace be upon him), do you not know that once Jacob (peace be upon him) became very seriously ill, and when his illness became prolonged, he made a vow in the name of Allah that if Allah granted him recovery from his illness, he would make his most beloved drink and his most beloved food unlawful for himself? And among foods, he loved camel meat the most, and among drinks, its milk was the most beloved to him?" They said: By Allah! It is so.
