حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ کَثِيرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ حَدَّثَنَا سِمَاکٌ عَنْ عِکْرِمَةَ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فِي قَوْلِهِ وَإِنَّ الشَّيَاطِينَ لَيُوحُونَ إِلَی أَوْلِيَائِهِمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا ذَبَحَ اللَّهُ فَلَا تَأْکُلُوا وَمَا ذَبَحْتُمْ أَنْتُمْ فَکُلُوا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَلَا تَأْکُلُوا مِمَّا لَمْ يُذْکَرْ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2818
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: explaining the verse "But the evil ones ever inspire their friend to contend with you" They used to say: Do not eat which Allah killed, but eat which you slaughtered. So Allah revealed the verse: "Eat not of (meats) on which Allah's name hath not been pronounced". . . to the end of the verse.
