Azami 5795

Harith bin Abu Usama narrated it in Bughyat Bahith (433), Abu Naeem in Marifat Sahaba (2/183-184), and Hakim (4/194), all of them through the hadith of Amash, from Jami bin Shaddad, from Kulthum Khuzai, from Usama, who related it.Hakim said, "Sahih in isnad, though the two of them [Bukhari and Muslim] did not include it." I say, it is as he said, for its narrators are trustworthy. Kulthum is Ibn Alqama Khuzai, about whose companionship there is disagreement, and the correct view is that he was a successor (tabii), so his narration from the Prophet ﷺ is a mursal report. This is why Ibn Hibban listed him among the trustworthy successors, and Hafiz said of him, "Trustworthy."On this subject there is also what was narrated from Abu Saeed, who said, "We had some wine belonging to an orphan. When the chapter of Maidah was revealed, I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it, saying, 'It belongs to an orphan.'" He said, "Pour it out." This was narrated by Tirmidhi (1263), Ahmad (11205), and Tahawi in his Mushkil (3340), all of them through the route of Mujalid, from Abu Wadak, from Abu Saeed, who related it. Mujalid is Ibn Saeed bin Umayr Hamdani, who is daif by the consensus of the scholars, though Tirmidhi said, "The hadith of Abu Saeed is a hasan sahih hadith." He also said, "It has been narrated through more than one route from the Prophet ﷺ to similar effect," meaning the corroborating report. Tirmidhi then said, "Some scholars have held this view, and disliked that wine be turned into vinegar. What was disliked in this - and Allah knows best - was that a Muslim should keep wine in his house until it turns into vinegar, while some scholars permitted vinegar made from wine if it was found to have already turned into vinegar."On this subject there is also what was narrated from Abdullah bin Abu Bakr, who said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "May Allah destroy the Jews. They were forbidden to eat fat, so they sold it and ate its price." This was narrated by Malik in Sifat Nabi (26) from him as a mursal report.On this subject there is also what was narrated from Mughira bin Shuba, from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who said, "Whoever sells wine should also carve up pigs." This was narrated by Abu Dawud (3489), Ahmad (18214), Darimi (2147), and Bayhaqi (6/12), all of them through the hadith of Tuma bin Amr Jafari, from Umar bin Bayan Taghlibi, from Urwa bin Mughira Thaqafi, from his father, who related the hadith. In it is Umar bin Bayan Taghlibi Kufi, of whom Ahmad said, "I do not know him." No one confirmed him as trustworthy except Ibn Hibban, and this is why Hafiz said in Taqrib, "Acceptable," meaning when corroborated. I have not found any corroboration for him.As for his saying "faliyushqis," it means "let him deem it permissible to eat it." The word tashqis carries two possible meanings. One is that he slaughters the pig with a mishqas, which is a broad blade. The other meaning is that he cuts it into pieces and limbs after slaughtering it, just as the parts of a sheep are divided after slaughter. The sense of the statement is simply to emphasize and intensify the prohibition. He is saying, whoever deems the sale of wine permissible should equally deem the eating of pork permissible, for the two are equal in prohibition and sin. This point was made by Khattabi.On this subject there is also what was narrated from Abdullah bin Amr as a raised report, "The Prophet of Allah ﷺ forbade wine, gambling arrows, the kuba drum, and ghubayra." He also said, "Every intoxicant is forbidden." This was narrated by Abu Dawud (3685) from Musa bin Ismail, who said, Hammad narrated to us, from Muhammad bin Ishaq, from Yazid bin Abu Habib, from Walid bin Abda, from Abdullah bin Amr, who related it. It was also narrated by Ahmad (6591) and Bayhaqi (10/221-222), both of them through another route from Abdul-Hameed bin Jafar, who said, Yazid bin Abu Habib narrated to us with his chain, except that he said in it "Amr bin Walid."I say, there is disagreement over the name of Walid bin Abda. Some said it this way, and others said "Amr bin Walid." No one narrated from him except Yazid bin Abu Habib, and no one confirmed him as trustworthy, so he falls among the unknown narrators. Abu Hatim also declared him unknown, as did Dhahabi in Mizan (4/341), who said, "Yazid bin Abu Habib narrated from Ibn Abda, and the report is defective regarding the kuba drum and ghubayra."Abu Dawud said, Ibn Salam Abu Ubayd said, "Ghubayra is sukurraka, made from corn, a drink prepared by the Abyssinians."In Muwatta, in the Book of Drinks (10), from Zayd bin Aslam, from Ata bin Yasar, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about ghubayra, and he said, "There is no good in it," and he forbade it. However, this is a mursal report. Malik said, "I asked Zayd bin Aslam, 'What is ghubayra?'" and he said, "It is askarka."There is also a report, transmitted as stopped with a broken chain, from Ibn Abbas, who said, "Ill-gotten gain includes bribery in judgment, the wages of a prostitute, the price of a dog, the price of a monkey, the price of a pig, the price of wine, the price of a carcass, the price of blood, the stud fee for a male animal, the wages of a professional mourner, the wages of a singing girl, the wages of a fortune-teller, the wages of a sorcerer, the wages of a physiognomist, the price of the hides of predatory animals, and the price of the hides of carcasses, though once tanned there is no harm in them, the fee for making images, gifts given for intercession, and payment collected in place of going out to fight." This was narrated by Bayhaqi (6/12-13) through the route of Ismail bin Ayyash, from Habib bin Salih, from Ibn Abbas, and he said, "This is broken between Habib bin Salih and Ibn Abbas, and it is a stopped report."The forbidden things mentioned in the hadiths of this chapter are wine, pork, carrion, idols, and blood. For each of these forbidden things there are detailed rulings concerning eating, drinking, selling, and benefiting from them, which I have set out in detail in Minna Kubra (5/220-228).
