وَحَدَّثَنِى زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِى الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ طَاوُسٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ - رضى الله عنهما - قَالَ قَدِمَ زَيْدُ بْنُ أَرْقَمَ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ يَسْتَذْكِرُهُ كَيْفَ أَخْبَرْتَنِى عَنْ لَحْمِ صَيْدٍ أُهْدِىَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وَهُوَ حَرَامٌ قَالَ قَالَ أُهْدِىَ لَهُ عُضْوٌ مِنْ لَحْمِ صَيْدٍ فَرَدَّهُ. فَقَالَ « إِنَّا لاَ نَأْكُلُهُ إِنَّا حُرُمٌ ».

It was narrated from Tawus from Ibn Abbas [may Allah be pleased with them], he said: “Zaid bin Arqam came and Abdullah bin Abbas said to him reminding him: ‘what did you tell me about the game meat that was given to the Messenger of Allah (SAW) when he was in Ihram?’ he said: ‘he was given a leg of game meat but he refused it, and he (SAW) said: ‘we cannot eat it, we are in Ihram.’’”
