Bayhaqi 19694 — Which cheese is lawful and which is not

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ الْفَقِيهُ، أنبأ أَبُو عُثْمَانَ الْبَصْرِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ، ثنا يَعْلَى بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ جَبَلَةَ بْنِ سُحَيْمٍ، قَالَ: سُئِلَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ عَنِ الْجُبْنِ وَالسَّمْنِ، فَقَالَ: " سَمِّ وَكُلْ "، فَقِيلَ: إِنَّ فِيهِ مَيْتَةً، فَقَالَ: " إِنْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ فِيهِ مَيْتَةً، فَلَا تَأْكُلْهُ ". وَقَدْ كَانَ بَعْضُ الصَّحَابَةِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمْ لَا يَسْأَلُ عَنْهُ تَغْلِيبًا لِلطَّهَارَةِ، رُوِّينَا ذَلِكَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، وَابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا وَغَيْرِهِمَا، وَبَعْضُهُمْ يَسْأَلُ عَنْهُ احْتِيَاطًا وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " لَأَنْ أَخِرَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْقَصْرِ أَحَبُّ إِلِيَّ مِنْ أَنْ آكُلَ جُبْنًا لَا أَسْأَلُ عَنْهُ " وَعَنِ الْحَسَنِ الْبَصْرِيِّ، قَالَ: " كَانَ أَصْحَابُ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْأَلُونَ عَنِ الْجُبْنِ، وَلَا يَسْأَلُونَ عَنِ السَّمْنِ ".
Jabalah bin Suhaym (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) was asked about cheese and ghee, and he said: Mention the name of Allah and eat. It was said: What if there is carrion in it? He said: If you know that it contains carrion, then do not eat it. Some of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) did not ask about it, giving precedence to purity, and this has been narrated from Ibn Abbas, Ibn Umar and others, while some of them would ask about it out of caution. It is narrated from Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: That I should fall from this palace is more beloved to me than that I should eat cheese without asking about it. Al-Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) used to ask about cheese, but they did not ask about ghee.
