Ata reported,

I heard Ibn Abbas say, "By Allah, fire neither makes anything lawful nor unlawful." He then explained to me his statement that fire does not make anything lawful, referring to what people say about boiled grape syrup, nor does it make anything unlawful.

أخبرنا سويد قال أنبأنا عبد الله عن ابن جريج قراءة

أخبرني عطاء قال

سمعت ابن عباس يقول والله ما تحل النار شيئا ولا تحرمه قال ثم فسر لي قوله لا تحل شيئا لقولهم في الطلاء ولا تحرمه
