حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ وَأَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَقَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْخَيْرِ حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ وَعْلَةَ السَّبَإِيُّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ قُلْتُ إِنَّا نَکُونُ بِالْمَغْرِبِ فَيَأْتِينَا الْمَجُوسُ بِالْأَسْقِيَةِ فِيهَا الْمَائُ وَالْوَدَکُ فَقَالَ اشْرَبْ فَقُلْتُ أَرَأْيٌ تَرَاهُ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ دِبَاغُهُ طَهُورُهُ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 815
Abu al-Khair reported: I saw Ibn Wa'la al-Saba'i wear a fur. I touched it. He said: Why do you touch it? I asked Ibn 'Abbas saying: We are the inhabitants of the western regions, and there (live) with us Berbers and Magians. They bring with them rams and slaughter them, but we do not eat (the meat of the animals) slaughtered by them, and they come with skins full of fat. Upon this Ibn 'Abbas said: We asked the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) about this and he said: Its tanning makes it pure.
