حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا وَکِيعٌ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ سِمَاکٍ عَنْ عِکْرِمَةَ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ إِنَّ الشَّيَاطِينَ لَيُوحُونَ إِلَی أَوْلِيَائِهِمْ قَالَ کَانُوا يَقُولُونَ مَا ذُکِرَ عَلَيْهِ اسْمُ اللَّهِ فَلَا تَأْکُلُوا وَمَا لَمْ يُذْکَرْ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَکُلُوهُ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَلَا تَأْکُلُوا مِمَّا لَمْ يُذْکَرْ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 3173
It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas: "And certainly, the Shayatin (devils) do inspire their friends (from mankind). He said: "They used to say: 'Whatever the Name of Allah has been mentioned over, do not eat it, and whatever the Name of Allah has not been mentioned over, eat it.' Then Allah said: "Eat not of that over which Allah's Name has not been pronounced."'
