[5040] 47 - (1948) It was narrated that Yazīd bin Al-Aṣamm said: “A newly-married man in Al-Madīnah invited us (to a meal) and he served us thirteen mastigures. Some people ate and some did not. I met Ibn ‘Abbās the next day and told him about that. People started narrating what they heard about this issue, until one of them said: ‘The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “I do not eat it, but I do not forbid it and I do no prohibit it.” Ibn ‘Abbās said: ‘What a bad thing you have said. No Prophet of Allāh was sent except to explain what is permitted and what is forbidden. When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was in the house of Maimūnah, along with Al-Faḍl bin ‘Abbās, Khālid bin Al-Walīd and another woman, a tray of meat was brought to them. When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ wanted to eat, Maimūnah said to him: “It is mastigure meat.” He withdrew his hand and said: "This is meat which I have never eaten." And he said to them: "Eat." So Al-Fadl, Khâlid and the woman ate from it. Maimûnah said: "I will never eat something that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ did not eat."

47 - (1948) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ الْأَصَمِّ، قَالَ: دَعَانَا عَرُوسٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَقَرَّبَ إِلَيْنَا ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ ضَبًّا، فَآكِلٌ وَتَارِكٌ، فَلَقِيتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ مِنَ الْغَدِ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ، فَأَكْثَرَ الْقَوْمُ حَوْلَهُ حَتَّى قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «لَا آكُلُهُ، وَلَا أَنْهَى عَنْهُ، وَلَا أُحَرِّمُهُ»، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: بِئْسَ مَا قُلْتُمْ، مَا بُعِثَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَّا مُحِلًّا وَمُحَرِّمًا، إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَمَا هُوَ عِنْدَ مَيْمُونَةَ، وَعِنْدَهُ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، وَخَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، وَامْرَأَةٌ أُخْرَى، إِذْ قُرِّبَ إِلَيْهِمْ خُوَانٌ عَلَيْهِ لَحْمٌ، فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ، قَالَتْ لَهُ مَيْمُونَةُ: إِنَّهُ لَحْمُ ضَبٍّ، فَكَفَّ يَدَهُ، وَقَالَ: «هَذَا لَحْمٌ لَمْ آكُلْهُ قَطُّ»، وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «كُلُوا»، فَأَكَلَ مِنْهُ الْفَضْلُ، وَخَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، وَالْمَرْأَةُ، وَقَالَتْ مَيْمُونَةُ: لَا آكُلُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا شَيْءٌ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
