أَخْبَرَنِي الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ بَکْرٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ مُضَرَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا الْخَيْرِ عَنْ ابْنِ وَعْلَةَ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّا نَغْزُو هَذَا الْمَغْرِبَ وَإِنَّهُمْ أَهْلُ وَثَنٍ وَلَهُمْ قِرَبٌ يَکُونُ فِيهَا اللَّبَنُ وَالْمَائُ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ الدِّبَاغُ طَهُورٌ قَالَ ابْنُ وَعْلَةَ عَنْ رَأْيِکَ أَوْ شَيْئٌ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ بَلْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4257
It was narrated from Ibn Wa’lah that he asked Ibn ‘Abbas: “We are attacking the Maghrib, and they are people who worship idols, and they have waterskins in which they keep milk and water.” Ibn ‘Abbás said: “Tanning is purification.” Ibn Wa’lah said: “Is this your own opinion, or something that you heard from the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم?” He said: “No, (I heard it) from the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم .“(Sahih).
