Arabic text

3218 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُصْعَبٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " أُحِلَّتْ لَنَا مَيْتَتَانِ: الْحُوتُ، وَالْجَرَادُ "

Commentary

a. A fish cannot live long after getting out of water. So, Allāh did not order slaughtering it due to His absolute Mercy on His slaves. b. Locusts sometime invade populated areas devouring everything from crops and trees. Arabs used to eat them roasted.
