The prohibition of selling forbidden goods

bazzar:123Ibrāhīm b. Saʿīd > Muḥammad b. Marzūq b. Bukayr > Rawḥ b. ʿUbādah > Ibn Jurayj > Ibn Shihāb > Saʿīd b. al-Musayyib > Ibn ʿUmar > ʿUmar

[AI] It reached him that Samurah had sold wine, so he said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Allah cursed the Jews; fats were forbidden to them for eating, so they rendered them down, sold them, and consumed their prices."

This hadith is narrated from Umar through more than one route. This chain is an authentic chain, and we do not know of anyone who narrated it from al-Zuhri, from Sa‘id, from Ibn Umar, from Umar except Rawh ibn Ubadah, from Ibn Jurayj.

البزّار:١٢٣حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَرْزُوقِ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ قَالَا نا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ قَالَ نا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ شِهَابٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ عُمَرَ

أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ سَمُرَةَ بَاعَ خَمْرًا، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْيَهُودَ؛ حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الشُّحُومُ أَنْ يَأْكُلُوهَا، فَجَمَّلُوهَا فَبَاعُوهَا، فَأَكَلُوا أَثْمَانَهَا».

وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ يُرْوَى عَنْ عُمَرَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ، وَهَذَا الْإِسْنَادُ إِسْنَادٌ صَحِيحٌ، وَلَا نَعْلَمُ رَوَاهُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ عُمَرَ إِلَّا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ.
