عن جابر بن عبد الله رضي الله عنهما أنه سمع رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - يقول عام الفتح: «إن الله ورسوله حرم بيع الخمر والميتة والخنزير والأصنام. فقيل: يا رسول الله، أرأيت شحوم الميتة؟ فإنه يطلى بها السفن، ويدهن بها الجلود. ويستصبح بها الناس. فقال: لا، هو حرام. ثم قال رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - عند ذلك: قاتل الله اليهود. إن الله لما حرم عليهم شحومها، جملوه ثم باعوه فأكلوا ثمنه».
Jabir b. 'Abdullah (Allah be pleased with them) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying in the Year of Victory while he was in Mecca: Verily Allah and His Messenger have forbidden the sale of wine, carcass, swine and idols, It was said: Allah's Messenger, you see that the fat of the carcass is used for coating the boats and varnishing the hides and people use it for lighting purposes, whereupon he said: No, it is forbidden, Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: May Allah the Exalted and Majestic destroy the Jews; when Allah forbade the use of fat of the carcass for them, they melted it, and then sold it and made use of its price (received from it).
