Jami' at-Tirmidhi 1726

Translation

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about fat, cheese, and furs, so he said: 'The lawful is what Allah made lawful in His Book, the unlawful is what Allah made unlawful in his Book, and what He was silent about; then it is among that for which He has pardoned.'"

Notes

• [Abu 'Eisa said:] There is something on this topic from Al-Mughirah, and this Hadith is Gharib, we do not know of it being Marfu' except from this route. Sufyan and others reported it from Sulaiman At-Taimi, from Abu 'Uthman, from Salman as his own saying. It is as if the Mawquf narration is more correct. I asked Al-Bukhari about this Hadith and he said: 'I do not think it is preserved. Sufyan reported it from Sulaiman At-Taimi from Abu 'Uthman, from Salman in Mawquf form.' Al-Bukhari said: "Saif bin Harun is Muqarib (Average) in Hadith, and as for Saif bin Muhammad from 'Asim, his narrations are left."

• قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ مَرْفُوعًا إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ وَرَوَى سُفْيَانُ وَغَيْرُهُ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ عَنْ سَلْمَانَ قَوْلَهُ وَكَأَنَّ الْحَدِيثَ الْمَوْقُوفَ أَصَحُّ وَسَأَلْتُ الْبُخَارِيَّ عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَقَالَ مَا أُرَاهُ مَحْفُوظًا رَوَى سُفْيَانُ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ عَنْ سَلْمَانَ مَوْقُوفًا قَالَ الْبُخَارِيُّ وَسَيْفُ بْنُ هَارُونَ مُقَارِبُ الْحَدِيثِ وَسَيْفُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ ذَاهِبُ الْحَدِيثِ

• Mubarakpūri

  في سنده سيف بن هارون وهو ضعيف كما عرفت

  machine translationIn its chain is Sayf b. Hārūn, and he is weak (ḍaʿīf), as you have come to know. Report a problem

• Abū Ḥatim al-Rāzī

  هذا خطأ رواه الثقات عن التيمي عن أبي عثمان عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم مرسل ليس فيه سلمان وهو الصحيح

  machine translationThis is a mistake. The trustworthy (thiqāt) narrators narrated it from al-Taymī, from Abū ʿUthmān, from the Prophet ﷺ, as a mursal report (mursal), without Salmān in it, and that is the correct (ṣaḥīḥ) version. Report a problem

• al-Tirmidhi

  غريب لا نعرفه مرفوعا إلا من هذا الوجه وروى سيف وغيره عن سليمان التيمي عن أبي عثمان عن سلمان قوله وكأن الحديث الموقوف أصح

  machine translationGharīb (strange): we do not know it as a raised report (marfūʿ) except through this route. Sayf and others narrated from Sulaymān al-Taymī, from Abū ʿUthmān, from Salmān, as his own statement, and it seems that the halted (mawqūf) report is more sound (aṣaḥḥ). Report a problem
