Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، سَمِعْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ قَاتَلَ اللَّهُ يَهُودًا حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الشُّحُومُ فَبَاعُوهَا، وَأَكَلُوا أَثْمَانَهَا ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد اللَّهِ قَاتَلَهُمْ اللَّهُ لَعَنَهُمْ قُتِلَ لُعِنَ الْخَرَّاصُونَ الْكَذَّابُونَ

Translation

Abdan narrated to us: Abdullah informed us: Yunus informed us, from Ibn Shihab, who said: I heard Said ibn al-Musayyab, from Abu Hurayra, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah said: “May Allah condemn the Jews! Animal fats were forbidden to them, but they sold them and consumed their price.”

Abu Abdullah said: “Qatalahum Allah means la anahum, may He curse them. Qutila means lu ina, he was cursed. Al-kharrasun means al-kadhabun, the liars.”

Translation notes
  • Abu Abdullah gives lexical glosses after the report, equating the condemnation formula with a curse and explaining al-kharrasun as liars.
