2819 — ʿUthmān ibn Abī Shaybah narrated to us: ʿImrān ibn ʿUyaynah narrated to us, from ʿAṭāʾ ibn al-Sāʾib, from Saʿīd ibn Jubayr, from Ibn ʿAbbās, who said:

The Jews came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "We eat what we kill, but we do not eat what Allah kills?" Then Allah revealed: {And do not eat of that upon which the name of Allah has not been mentioned} to the end of the verse.

Also narrated by Ibn Mājah (3173), al-Ṭabarī in his Tafsīr 8/16, 17, and 18, Ibn Abī Ḥātim in his Tafsīr as found in Tafsīr Ibn Kathīr 3/321, al-Ḥākim 4/113 and 231, and al-Bayhaqī 9/241, via the route of Simāk ibn Ḥarb, from him (Ibn ʿAbbās).

Also narrated in similar wording by al-Nasāʾī in al-Kubrā (4511) and (11106), al-Ṭabarī 8/17, al-Ḥākim 4/233, and Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr in al-Tamhīd 22/301, via the route of ʿAntarah ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Kūfī; and al-Ṭabarī 8/16 and al-Ṭabarānī (11614) via the route of al-Ḥakam ibn Abān, from ʿIkrimah; and al-Ṭabarī 8/17 via the route of ʿAṭiyyah al-ʿAwfī; and 8/17 via the route of ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭalḥah — all of them from Ibn ʿAbbās.

It will also follow later in the author's collection via the route of Saʿīd ibn Jubayr, from Ibn ʿAbbās.

(1) The ḥadīth is ṣaḥīḥ, and this chain is ḥasan in follow-up narrations on account of ʿImrān ibn ʿUyaynah — who is the brother of Sufyān — for he is weak but is considered acceptable in follow-up narrations. He was indeed followed up, except that he erred in mentioning "the Jews" in the narration, for what is preserved is "the polytheists," not "the Jews," as Ibn Kathīr noted in his Tafsīr when commenting on this aforementioned verse.

Also narrated by al-Bazzār in his Musnad as found in Tafsīr Ibn Kathīr 3/320, al-Ṭabarī 8/18–19, al-Ṭabarānī (12295), al-Bayhaqī 9/240, Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr in al-Tamhīd 22/300–301, and al-Ḍiyāʾ al-Maqdisī in al-Mukhtārah 10/(271), via the route of ʿImrān ibn ʿUyaynah, with this chain.

Also narrated by al-Tirmidhī (3323) via the route of Ziyād ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Bakkāʾī, al-Ṭabarī 8/18 via the route of Jarīr ibn ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd, and al-Ḍiyāʾ 10/(270) via the route of Abū Kadīnah Yaḥyā ibn al-Muhallab — all three of them from ʿAṭāʾ ibn al-Sāʾib, from him. Al-Tirmidhī said: A ḥasan gharīb ḥadīth, and this ḥadīth has also been narrated from other routes on the authority of Ibn ʿAbbās as well.
