Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُعَلَّى بْنُ أَسَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ ـ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُخْتَارِ ـ أَخْبَرَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عُقْبَةَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمٌ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ لَقِيَ زَيْدَ بْنَ عَمْرِو بْنِ نُفَيْلٍ بِأَسْفَلِ بَلْدَحٍ، وَذَاكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُنْزَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْوَحْىُ، فَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم سُفْرَةً فِيهَا لَحْمٌ، فَأَبَى أَنْ يَأْكُلَ مِنْهَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنِّي لاَ آكُلُ مِمَّا تَذْبَحُونَ عَلَى أَنْصَابِكُمْ، وَلاَ آكُلُ إِلاَّ مِمَّا ذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ‏.‏

Muʿallā ibn Asad narrated to us: ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz—meaning Ibn al-Mukhtār—narrated to us: Mūsā ibn ʿUqbah informed us, saying: Sālim informed me that he heard ʿAbd Allāh relate from the Messenger of God ﷺ that he met Zayd ibn ʿAmr ibn Nufayl at the lower part of Baldah. This was before revelation had come down to the Messenger of God ﷺ. The Messenger of God ﷺ offered him a meal-spread on which there was meat, but he refused to eat from it. Then he said: “I do not eat what you slaughter for your stone idols, and I eat only what has had God’s name mentioned over it.”
