Bayhaqi 19706 — What was forbidden to the Children of Israel

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ بَكْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّيْرَفِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ، ثنا مَكِّيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ، عَنْ مَعْقِلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " اعْمَلُوا بِالْقُرْآنِ، أَحِلُّوا حَلَالَهُ، وَحَرِّمُوا حَرَامَهُ، وَاقْتَدُوا بِهِ، وَلَا تَكْفُرُوا بِشَيْءٍ مِنْهُ، وَمَا تَشَابَهَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْهُ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى اللهِ، وَإِلَى أُولِي الْعِلْمِ مِنْ بَعْدِي كَمَا يُخْبِرُوكُمْ، وَآمِنُوا بِالتَّوْرَاةِ وَالْإِنْجِيلِ وَالزَّبُورِ، وَمَا أُوتِيَ النَّبِيُّونَ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ، وَلِيَسَعْكُمُ الْقُرْآنُ، وَمَا فِيهِ مِنَ الْبَيَانِ، فَإِنَّهُ شَافِعٌ مُشَفَّعٌ، وَمَا حَلَّ مُصَدَّقٌ، أَلَا وَلِكُلِّ آيَةٍ نُورٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، وَإِنِّي أُعْطِيتُ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ مِنَ الذِّكْرِ الْأَوَّلِ، وَأُعْطِيتُ طَهَ وَطَوَاسِينَ وَالْحَوَامِيمَ مِنْ أَلْوَاحِ مُوسَى، وَأُعْطِيتُ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ مِنْ تَحْتِ الْعَرْشِ "، عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ تَكَلَّمُوا فِيهِ. قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ: " وَأَحَلَّ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ طَعَامَ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ، فَكَانَ ذَلِكَ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ التَّفْسِيرِ ذَبَائِحَهُمْ، لَمْ يَسْتَثْنِ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا، فَلَا يَجُوزُ أَنْ تَحِلَّ ذَبِيحَةُ كِتَابِيٍّ، وَفِي الذَّبِيحَةِ حَرَامٌ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ، مِمَّا كَانَ حُرِّمَ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ قَبْلَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ma'qil bin Yasar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Act upon the Qur'an: regard its lawful as lawful and its unlawful as unlawful, follow it, and do not deny anything of it. Whatever of it becomes doubtful to you, refer it back to Allah and to the people of knowledge after me, who will inform you. Believe in the Torah, the Injil, the Zabur and what the prophets were given from their Lord. The Qur'an and what is in it is sufficient for you, for it is an intercessor whose intercession will be accepted, and its lawful things have been confirmed. Beware! Every verse will be a light on the Day of Resurrection. I have been given Surah al-Baqarah from the first remembrance; I have been given Ta Ha and the surahs that begin with Ta Sin and Ha Mim from the Tablets of Musa (peace be upon him); and I have been given Surah al-Fatihah from beneath the Throne."
Ubaydullah bin Abi Humayd has been criticised (by the scholars of hadith).
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Allah made lawful the food of the People of the Book, and according to the people of tafsir this means their slaughtered animals; He did not except anything from them. So it cannot be that the slaughtered animal of a person of the Book is lawful while something in that slaughtered animal is unlawful for every Muslim, from what had been made unlawful for the People of the Book before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
