Jami at-Tirmidhi 1822 — The ruling on eating locusts

حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ، وَالْمُؤَمَّلُ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى، قَالَ : " غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَبْعَ غَزَوَاتٍ نَأْكُلُ الْجَرَادَ " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : وَرَوَى شُعْبَةُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ ، عَنْ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى، قَالَ : " غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَزَوَاتٍ نَأْكُلُ الْجَرَادَ " .
Ibn Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We participated in seven battles with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and ate locusts. Imam Tirmidhi says:
1- Shu’bah has also narrated it from Abu Ya’fur, from Ibn Abi Awfa, who said: I participated in several battles with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and ate locusts.
حَدَّثَنَا بِذَلِكَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ بِهَذَا ، قَالَ وَفِي الْبَاب عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، وَجَابِرٍ ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَأَبُو يَعْفُورٍ اسْمُهُ وَاقِدٌ وَيُقَالُ : وَقْدَانُ أَيْضًا وَأَبُو يَعْفُورٍ الْآخَرُ اسْمُهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ نِسْطَاسَ .
