Bayhaqi 19702 — What was forbidden to the Children of Israel

أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ، بِبَغْدَادَ، أنبأ إِسْمَاعِيلُ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أنبأ الثَّوْرِيُّ، ح، وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، أنبأ أَبُو الْمُثَنَّى، ثنا مُسَدَّدٌ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا: " أَنَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَخَذَهُ عِرْقُ النَّسَا، فَكَانَ يَبِيتُ وَلَهُ زُقَاءٌ، قَالَ: فَجَعَلَ إِنْ شَفَاهُ اللهُ أَنْ لَا يَأْكُلَ لَحْمًا فِيهِ عُرُوقٌ، قَالَ: فَحَرَّمَتْهُ الْيَهُودُ، فَنَزَلَتْ {كُلُّ الطَّعَامِ كَانَ حِلًّا لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَّا مَا حَرَّمَ إِسْرَائِيلُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تُنَزَّلَ التَّوْرَاةُ قُلْ فَأْتُوا بِالتَّوْرَاةِ فَاتْلُوهَا إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ} [آل عمران: ٩٣]، أَيْ: إِنَّ هَذَا كَانَ قَبْلَ التَّوْرَاةِ، قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ: قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: زُقَاءً صِيَاحًا، قَالَ: الشَّافِعِيُّ قَالَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى: {فَبِظُلْمٍ مِنَ الَّذِينَ هَادُوا حَرَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ طَيِّبَاتٍ أُحِلَّتْ لَهُمْ} [النساء: ١٦٠] الْآيَةَ، قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: وَهُنَّ - يَعْنِي وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ - طَيِّبَاتٌ أُحِلَّتْ لَهُمْ وَقَالَ: {وَعَلَى الَّذِينَ هَادُوا حَرَّمْنَا كُلَّ ذِي ظُفُرٍ وَمِنَ الْبَقَرِ وَالْغَنَمِ حَرَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ شُحُومَهُمَا إِلَّا مَا حَمَلَتْ ظُهُورُهُمَا أَوِ الْحَوَايَا أَوْ مَا اخْتَلَطَ بِعَظْمٍ} [الأنعام: ١٤٦]، قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ: الْحَوَايَا مَا حَوَى الطَّعَامَ وَالشَّرَابَ فِي الْبَطْنِ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Israel (that is, Ya'qub (peace be upon him)) was afflicted with sciatica, and he would spend the night crying out (in pain). He said: So he vowed that if Allah cured him, he would not eat meat that contains veins. He said: Then the Jews made it unlawful, so this verse was revealed: "All food was lawful to the Children of Israel except what Israel made unlawful for himself before the Torah was revealed. Say: Then bring the Torah and recite it, if you are truthful." [Surah Al Imran: 93] That is, this was before the Torah. Sufyan said: Zuqa' means crying out. Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said concerning "Because of the wrongdoing of the Jews, We made unlawful for them good things which had been lawful for them." [Surah al-Nisa: 160] that, and Allah knows best, they are the good things that had been made lawful for them.
"And to the Jews We made unlawful every animal with claws, and of cattle and sheep We made unlawful for them their fat, except what clings to their backs, or to the entrails, or what is mixed with bone." [Surah al-An'am: 146]
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Al-hawaya" (the entrails) means that which encloses food and drink in the belly.
