Explanation of the Book of Foods-07a

The reciter: Qutaybah ibn Sa'id narrated to us, Muhammad ibn Fudayl narrated to us from Bayyan from al-Sha'bi from 'Adi ibn Hatim, who said:

The Shaykh : This chapter, as the author stated, is about when the dog eats, meaning that it has eaten. However, it appears that the author (may Allah have mercy on him) did not assert the ruling definitively, but rather titled the chapter "When the dog eats, what is the ruling?" The answer is that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) clarified the ruling by saying, "Do not eat," and he explained the cause by saying: Then he cited the verse: to the end. If we look at the form of the question, "What has been made lawful for them?", we find that it is general in everything, but it is a general statement intended for a specific meaning. The intended meaning is: What has been made lawful for them to eat? Because the verse comes after His saying: to the end, in Surat al-Ma'idah. So the meaning is: What has been made lawful for them to eat, or from food, or from provisions? He said: "The pure things" include everything that is pure, and their opposite is "the impure things," so the impure things are forbidden. to the end. His saying: This must be understood with an implied addition, because it is not "what we have learned" that is made lawful, but rather "the hunt of what we have learned." Therefore, we say "and what you have learned" means "and the hunt of what you have learned." This is if we consider it conjoined to "the pure things." But if we consider it a new sentence and say that "ma" is a conditional noun that necessitates the subjunctive, then the matter does not require an implied addition. The meaning of the verse would be: And there is no implied addition in the verse. In that case, the "waw" is introductory and not conjoining. And his saying: "From the beasts of prey," the beasts of prey are the predators that tear, such as dogs and falcons and the like. And his saying: means trained to hunt, and this means that you send them out. And his saying: contains a wonderful precaution. When he said "you teach them," it was feared that a person might be deceived by himself and think that the knowledge comes from him. So he said: So the knowledge that you teach these animals is not from you, but from Allah. He is the one who inspired you and inspired these beasts of prey. by saying "Bismillah" when you send out these beasts of prey. Fear Allah the Exalted by obeying His commands and avoiding His prohibitions, and know that you will meet Him and that He will hold you accountable for what you have done. Indeed, Allah is swift in reckoning. And Ibn 'Abbas said: "If the dog has eaten, it has spoiled it; it only caught it for itself." "Spoiled it" means he made it forbidden by eating from it, so do not eat. And Allah says: So you strike and teach until it leaves. Be patient, my brother, let us complete the narrations. Until it leaves. He said: "And Ibn 'Umar disliked it." "Disliked it" means he disliked what the dog ate or what it ate from. Dislike, in the terminology of the Salaf, is for prohibition. When dislike is mentioned in the Qur'an and the Sunnah and the language of the Companions, it is for prohibition. As Allah the Exalted said, after mentioning shirk, undutifulness to parents, and other forbidden things, He said: And the classification of the disliked, or making the disliked that which is forbidden from doing, not in the sense of obligatory avoidance, is a convention of the jurists (may Allah have mercy on them). And Ata' said: "If it drank blood but did not eat, then eat." This is correct, because the Messenger of Allah prohibited it when it ate. Then the author mentioned the hadith of 'Adi ibn Hatim and the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): His saying: means I expect and think that it only caught it for itself, so do not eat, because Allah says: Yes.
