Hadith 1981
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ الضَّبُعِ آكُلُهُ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قُلْتُ: هُوَ صَيْدٌ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ" . قُلْتُ: سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ . قِيلَ لِأَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ: مَا تَقُولُ فِي الضَّبُعِ تَأْكُلُهُ ؟ قَالَ: أَنَا أَكْرَهُ أَكْلَهُ.
Abdur Rahman bin Abdullah bin Abi Ammar said: I asked Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them): Can the hyena be eaten? He replied: You can eat it. I asked: Can it be hunted? He replied: Yes. I said: Did you hear this from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? He replied: Yes. Imam Darimi (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: What do you say about the hyena? Can it be eaten? He said: I do not like to eat it.
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadiths 1979 to 1981)
The dhabi‘ (ضبع) is an animal; some commentators of hadith have translated it as the monitor lizard (goh) or the badger (bajo), which is not correct. It is an animal approximately the size of a dog and similar to a dog, which can be hunted. Some scholars have prohibited hunting it due to its being a predatory animal. And Allah knows best.
