Sahih Muslim Hadith 5040 – The Permissibility

English

[50401 47 – (1948) It was narrated that YazId bin Al- Aamm said: "A newly-married man in A]-Madinah invited us (to a meal) and he served us thirteen mastigures. Some people ate and some did not. I met Ibn 'Abbâs 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 Allah said: "I do not eat it, but I do not forbid it and I do no prohibit it." Ibn 'Abbâs said: 'What a bad thing you have said. No Prophet of Allah was sent except to explain what is permitted and what is forbidden. When the Messenger of Allah was in the house of Maimünah, along with Al-Fall bin 'Abbâs, Khâlid bin Al-Waild and another woman, a tray of meat was brought to them. When the Messenger of Allah wanted to eat, Maimünah 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-Fadi, Khâlid and the woman ate from it. Maimflnah said: "I will never eat something that the Messenger of Allah did not eat."
