أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدٌ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قِرَائَةً أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَائٌ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ وَاللَّهِ مَا تُحِلُّ النَّارُ شَيْئًا وَلَا تُحَرِّمُهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ فَسَّرَ لِي قَوْلَهُ لَا تُحِلُّ شَيْئًا لِقَوْلِهِمْ فِي الطِّلَائِ وَلَا تُحَرِّمُهُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 5746
‘Ata’ said: “I heard Ibn ‘Abbas say: ‘By Allah, fire does not make anything permissible or forbidden.” He said: “Then he explained what he meant by ‘it does not make permissible’ as referring to what they said about Al-Tila’ (thickened grape juice), and he explained what he said about ‘it does not make forbidden’ as referring to performing Wuduafter eating something that has been touched by fire.” (Sahih)
