ahmad:27512ʿAlī b. ʿĀṣim > Suhayl b. Abū Ṣāliḥ > ʿAbdullāh b. Yazīd al-Saʿdī > Amaranī Nās from Qawmī > Asʾal Saʿīd b. al-Musayyib

[Machine] About Sinan, they would designate him and focus on him in the land, and he would wake up having killed the fox. Do you think it is his knack? I said I sat with Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib, and there was an old man with white hair and beard from the people of Sham (Levant). So I asked him about that. He said to me, "Do you eat fox?" I said, "I have never eaten it, but some people from my tribe eat it." He said, "The eating of it is not permitted." The old man said, "O Abdullah, shall I narrate to you a hadeeth I heard from Abu Darda' narrating it from the Prophet ﷺ ?" I said, "Yes." He said, "I heard Abu Darda' say that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade every thievery, loot, aggression, and every fanged beast." Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib said, "He speaks the truth"
