مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ
ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُئِلَ عَنْ أَكْلِ الضَّبِّ فَقَالَ : " لَا آكُلُهُ وَلَا أُحَرِّمُهُ " ، قَالَ : وَفِي الْبَاب ، عَنْ عُمَرَ ، وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، وَثَابِتِ بْنِ وَدِيعَةَ ، وَجَابِرٍ ، وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَسَنَةَ ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَقَدِ اخْتَلَفَ أَهْلُ الْعِلْمِ فِي أَكْلِ الضَّبِّ فَرَخَّصَ فِيهِ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَغَيْرِهِمْ وَكَرِهَهُ بَعْضُهُمْ ، وَيُرْوَى عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " أُكِلَ الضَّبُّ عَلَى مَائِدَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَإِنَّمَا تَرَكَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَقَذُّرًا " .
