Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْكَلْبِيُّ أَبُو ثَوْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ نُمَيْلَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ فَسُئِلَ عَنْ أَكْلِ الْقُنْفُذِ، فَتَلاَ ‏‏{‏ قُلْ لاَ أَجِدُ فِيمَا أُوحِيَ إِلَىَّ مُحَرَّمًا ‏}‏ الآيَةَ قَالَ قَالَ شَيْخٌ عِنْدَهُ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ ذُكِرَ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ ‏"‏ خَبِيثَةٌ مِنَ الْخَبَائِثِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ إِنْ كَانَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم هَذَا فَهُوَ كَمَا قَالَ مَا لَمْ نَدْرِ ‏.‏

Translation

Ibrahim ibn Khalid al-Kalbi, Abu Thawr, narrated to us: Saʿid ibn Mansur narrated to us: ʿAbd al-ʿAziz ibn Muhammad narrated to us, from ʿIsa ibn Numaylah, from his father, who said: I was with Ibn ʿUmar when he was asked about eating hedgehog. He recited: “Say: I do not find in what has been revealed to me anything forbidden...” A shaykh who was with him said: I heard Abu Hurayrah say that the hedgehog was mentioned in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ, and he said: “It is one of the vile creatures.” Ibn ʿUmar said: “If the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said that, then it is as he said; we had not known.”
