Hadith 1

Business Transactions

ENGLISH

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah (RA):

I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying in the year of the Conquest, while he was in Makkah, "Allah and His Messenger have forbidden the sale of intoxicants, dead animals, swine and idols." He was asked, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , what about the fat of a dead animal, for it is used for greasing ships, greasing the hides (of animals), and making oils for lamps?" He replied, "No, it is unlawful." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then added: "May Allah curse the Jews, when Allah the Most High declared the fat of such animals unlawful they melted it, then sold it and devoured its price (profit)." [Agreed upon].

وَعَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ ‏-رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا‏-; أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-يَقُولُ عَامَ اَلْفَتْحِ, وَهُوَ بِمَكَّةَ: { إِنَّ اَللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ حَرَّمَ بَيْعَ اَلْخَمْرِ, وَالْمَيْتَةِ, وَالْخِنْزِيرِ, وَالْأَصْنَامِ.‏ فَقِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ ! أَرَأَيْتَ شُحُومَ اَلْمَيْتَةِ, فَإِنَّهُ تُطْلَى [1]‏ بِهَا اَلسُّفُنُ, وَتُدْهَنُ بِهَا اَلْجُلُودُ, وَيَسْتَصْبِحُ بِهَا اَلنَّاسُ? فَقَالَ: " لَا.‏ هُوَ حَرَامٌ ", ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ: " قَاتَلَ اَللَّهُ اَلْيَهُودَ, إِنَّ اَللَّهَ لَمَّا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ شُحُومَهَا جَمَلُوهُ, ثُمَّ بَاعُوهُ, فَأَكَلُوا ثَمَنَهُ } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ [2]‏ .‏
