14 - Chapter on the Wolf and the Fox

3235 - Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us, Yahya ibn Wadih narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn Ishaq, from Abd al-Karim ibn Abi al-Mukhariq, from Hibban ibn Jaz'
from his brother Khuzaymah ibn Jaz', who said: I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have come to ask you about the beasts of the earth. What do you say about the fox?" He said, "And who eats the fox?!" I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you say about the wolf?" He said, "Would anyone in whom there is any good eat the wolf?!"

= Sa'id: he is Ibn Abi 'Arubah, and Ali ibn al-Hakam: he is al-Bannani al-Basri.

It was also narrated by Abu Dawud (3805), and al-Nasa'i 7/206 via the chain of Sa'id ibn Abi 'Arubah, with this chain of transmission.
It is in "Musnad Ahmad" (3141).
It was also narrated by Muslim (1934), and Abu Dawud (3803) via the chain of Abu Bishr Ja'far ibn Iyas, and Muslim (1934) via the chain of al-Hakam ibn 'Utaybah, both from Maymun ibn Mahran, from Ibn 'Abbas, omitting Sa'id ibn Jubayr.
It is in "Musnad Ahmad" (2192) via the chain of Abu Bishr, and (2619) via the chain of al-Hakam ibn 'Utaybah.
It was also narrated in abbreviated form with the prohibition of every beast of prey with fangs by al-Tabarani in "al-Kabir" (12996) via the chain of Shu'bah, from 'Amr ibn Dinar, from Maymun ibn Mahran, from Ibn 'Abbas.

(1) Its chain of transmission is weak due to the weakness of Abd al-Karim ibn Abi al-Mukhariq, and the ambiguous transmission (an'anah) of Muhammad ibn Ishaq.
Al-Bukhari said in "al-Tarikh al-Kabir" 3/206: It is not corroborated, and he deemed its chain weak. Likewise al-Tirmidhi (1895), Ibn Abd al-Barr in "al-Tamhid" 1/161, Ibn Hazm in "al-Muhalla" 7/452, and al-Bayhaqi 9/319.
It was also narrated by al-Bukhari in suspended form (ta'liq) in "al-Tarikh al-Kabir" 3/206, Ibn Sa'd in "al-Tabaqat" 7/79, al-Tirmidhi (1895), Ibn Abi 'Asim in "al-Ahad wa al-Mathani" (1411), al-Tabarani in "al-Kabir" (3796) and (3797), and Abu Ahmad al-'Askari in "Tashifat" =
