حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَذَّاءُ عَنْ بَرَكَةَ أَبِي الْوَلِيدِ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَاعِدًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ مُسْتَقْبِلًا الْحُجَرَ قَالَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَضَحِكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْيَهُودَ حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ الشُّحُومُ فَبَاعُوهَا وَأَكَلُوا أَثْمَانَهَا وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِذَا حَرَّمَ عَلَى قَوْمٍ أَكْلَ شَيْءٍ حَرَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ ثَمَنَهُ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2221
It was narrated from Barakah Abul-Waleed: Ibn 'Abbas (RA) told me: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) was sitting in the mosque, facing the [Black] Stone, then he looked at the sky and smiled, then he said: "May Allah curse the Jews; animal fat was forbidden to them, so they sold it and consumed its price. But when Allah forbids people to eat something. He also forbids its price to them."
