And Ibn 'Abbas said: “By the covenants”: the pledges, what He made lawful and what He made forbidden.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: And may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his companions. Al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) said: And Ibn 'Abbas said:
the contracts بالعقود
: the pledges, what He made lawful and what He made forbidden,
Except what is recited to you إلا ما يتلى عليكم
: the pig,
Will lead you astray يجرمنكم
will carry you

The Shaykh : His statement (may Allah have mercy on him), “In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy. Ibn 'Abbas said: ‘The covenants are the pledges’. The correct view is that “covenants” is broader than “pledges,” unless one considers the covenants to be pledges because each party to a contract pledges to the other what the contract requires. If the contract is considered a pledge in this sense, then the interpretation is valid; otherwise, the verse is broader, and “covenants” is broader than “pledges.” Yes. And his statement: “Except what is recited to you: the pig”. This is undoubtedly incomplete, for “except what is recited to you” refers to the dead animal and what is conjoined to it, such as the pig and others. Yes.
The reciter:
Will lead you astray يجرمنكم
: will carry you,
hatred شنئان
: enmity,
The strangled one المنخنقة
: it is strangled and dies,
The beaten one الموقوذة
: it is struck with wood until it dies,
The one that fell from a height والمتردية
: it falls from a mountain,
The gored one والنطيحة
: it is gored by a horned animal; if you catch it while it is still moving its tail or its eye, then slaughter it and eat it.

The Shaykh : This is what the author (may Allah have mercy on him) said, and I do not know whether this is part of the complete report from Ibn 'Abbas or the words of al-Bukhari. In any case, this is one of the opinions on the issue: that the strangled one, the one that fell from a height, the gored one, and what was eaten by a predator, except what you have slaughtered, requires for its lawfulness that there be movement, whether in its tail, its eye, its ear, or something similar. It has been established for us that the correct view is that movement is not required; rather, what is required is slaughter. If the known warm red blood flows, then it is lawful, even if it does not move. As for if the cold black blood flows, this is evidence that it died before it was slaughtered. Yes.
