He said, "Al-Ḥakam bin 'Amr Al-Ghifārī used to say so when he was with us, but Ibn 'Abbās, the great religious learned man, refused to give a final verdict and recited: 'Say: I find not in that which has been revealed to me anything forbidden to be eaten by one who wishes to eat it, unless it be Maitah (a dead animal) or, blood poured forth or the flesh of swine...'
