Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We used to eat cheese in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and after him as well, but we did not ask about it. And Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) would eat only the cheese that the Muslims and the People of the Book made.
Aban bin Abi Ayyash is matruk (abandoned).
