حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عُقْبَةَ أَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ لَقِيَ زَيْدَ بْنَ عَمْرِو بْنِ نُفَيْلٍ بِأَسْفَلِ بَلْدَحَ وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْوَحْيُ فَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُفْرَةً فِيهَا لَحْمٌ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَأْكُلَ مِنْهُ وَقَالَ إِنِّي لَا آكُلُ مِمَّا تَذْبَحُونَ عَلَى أَنْصَابِكُمْ وَلَا آكُلُ مِمَّا لَمْ يُذْكَرْ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 5631
Saalim ibn Abdullah narrated that he heard Ibn 'Umar narrate from the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) that he met Zayd ibn 'Amr ibn Nufayl in the lower part of Baldah (a place near Makkah), and that was before tire revelation had come down to the Messenger of Allah. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) offered him some food in which there was meat. He refused to eat it and said: I do not eat that which you slaughter on your altars and I do not eat that on which the name of Allah was not mentioned.
