that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, in the Year of the Conquest, while he was in Makkah: “Indeed Allah and His Messenger have forbidden the sale of alcohol, carrion, swine, and idols.” It was said: “O Messenger of Allah, what about the fat of carrion? For it is used to coat ships, to oil hides, and people use it for lamps.” 

He said: “No, it is forbidden.” Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said at that time: “May Allah destroy the Jews: when Allah ﷻ forbade them its fats, they melted it down, then sold it, and consumed its price.”

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ، عَامَ الْفَتْحِ، وَهُوَ بِمَكَّةَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ حَرَّمَ بَيْعَ الْخَمْرِ، وَالْمَيْتَةِ، وَالْخِنْزِيرِ، وَالْأَصْنَامِ». فَقِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَرَأَيْتَ شُحُومَ الْمَيْتَةِ؟ فَإِنَّهُ يُطْلَى بِهَا السُّفُنُ، وَيُدْهَنُ بِهَا الْجُلُودُ، وَيُسْتَصْبَحُ بِهَا النَّاسُ. فَقَالَ: «لَا، هُوَ حَرَامٌ». 

ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ: «قَاتَلَ اللَّهُ الْيَهُودَ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ ﷻ لَمَّا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ شُحُومَهَا أَجْمَلُوهُ، ثُمَّ بَاعُوهُ، فَأَكَلُوا ثَمَنَهُ».

'Ata' reported to me that he heard Jabir (b. 'Abdullah) saying it that he had heard that from Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the Year of Victory.

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا الضَّحَّاكُ يَعْنِي أَبَا عَاصِمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ قَالَ كَتَبَ إِلَىَّ عَطَاءٌ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ اللَّيْثِ

This news reached 'Umar that Samura had sold wine, whereupon he said: May Allah destroy Samura; does he not know that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:" Let there be the curse of Allah upon the Jews that fat was declared forbidden for them, but they melted it and then sold it"?

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْيَهُودَ حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الشُّحُومُ فَجَمَلُوهَا فَبَاعُوهَا

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of 'Amr b. Dinar with the same chain of transmitters.

عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ مِثْلَهُ

May Allah destroy the Jews for Allah forbade the use of fats for them, but they sold them and made use of their price.

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ قَاتَلَ اللَّهُ الْيَهُودَ حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمُ الشُّحُومَ فَبَاعُوهَا وَأَكَلُوا أَثْمَانَهَا

May Allah destroy the Jews for Allah forbade the use of fat for them, but they sold it and made use of its price.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَاتَلَ اللَّهُ الْيَهُودَ حُرِّمَ عَلَيْهِمُ الشَّحْمُ فَبَاعُوهُ وَأَكَلُوا ثَمَنَهُ
