3383. It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbās said: Umar heard that Samurah had sold some wine, and he said: "May Allāh ruin Samurah! Does he not know that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'May Allāh curse the Jews, for animal fat was forbidden to them, so they melted it down and sold it.'" (Sahih)

Arabic text

3383 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: بَلَغَ عُمَرَ أَنَّ سَمُرَةَ بَاعَ خَمْرًا، فَقَالَ: قَاتَلَ اللَّهُ سَمُرَةَ أَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْيَهُودَ، حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الشُّحُومُ، فَجَمَلُوهَا، فَبَاعُوهَا»

Commentary

In Arabic language the fat that is extracted from meat is called Shaham, while the melted fat is called Wadak, but changing names does not change the rulings of the Shari'ah. The Jews resorted to trickery and claimed that only fat was made forbidden to them so they are selling Wadak (melted fat), which is a different thing.
