حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْبَصْرِيُّ الْحَرَشِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَكَّائِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَطَاءُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ : " أَتَى أُنَاسٌ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَنَأْكُلُ مَا نَقْتُلُ وَلَا نَأْكُلُ مَا يَقْتُلُ اللَّهُ ؟ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فَكُلُوا مِمَّا ذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ بِآيَاتِهِ مُؤْمِنِينَ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ : وَإِنْ أَطَعْتُمُوهُمْ إِنَّكُمْ لَمُشْرِكُونَ سورة الأنعام آية 118 ـ 121 " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ ، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ مِنْ غَيْرِ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَيْضًا ، وَرَوَاهُ بَعْضُهُمْ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُرْسَلًا .
´Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas:` "Some people came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and they said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Why is it that we can eat what we kill but we can not eat what Allah has killed?' So Allah revealed: So eat of that on which Allah's Name has been mentioned if you are indeed believers in His Ayat..." up to His saying: ...And if you obey them, then you would indeed be idolaters (6:121)."

Brief Explanation
1؎: "Eat from the animals over which Allah's name has been mentioned, if you truly believe in His verses (commands). What is the matter (what reason is there) that you do not eat from that over which Allah's name has been mentioned? When He has already clearly explained to you what things He has made unlawful for you. Yes, in a state of necessity, you may eat from (the unlawful) as much as needed. Many people, without investigation, mislead others by making their desires and opinions the basis (of their actions). Your Lord knows very well who the transgressors are. Leave both open sins and hidden sins. Those who commit sins will soon receive the recompense for what they have done. And do not eat from that over which Allah's name has not been mentioned; eating it is a sin. And the devils cast (such vain and meaningless things) into the hearts of their friends (their devotees and admirers) so that they may dispute with you (through them). And (know this) if you obey them, you will become polytheists." (Al-An'am: 118-121).

What is the matter (what is the reason) that you do not eat from that over which Allah’s name has been mentioned?
While He has already clearly explained to you what things He has made unlawful for you,
except in a case of necessity—then (to the extent of need) you may eat from that (unlawful thing).
Many people, without investigation, mislead others by basing things on their own desires and opinions.
Your Lord knows very well who the transgressors are.
Abandon both open sins and hidden sins.
Those who commit sins
will soon receive the punishment for what they have done.
And do not eat from that over which Allah’s name has not been mentioned,
for eating it is a sin.
And the devils (shayatin) cast (such vain and meaningless things) into the hearts of their friends (their allies and devotees) so that they may dispute with you (through them).
And (know this) if you obey them, you will become polytheists (mushrikun). ()
