Muwatta Malik #1092
Slaughtering Animals
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ ثَوْرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ الدِّيلِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ ذَبَائِحِ، نَصَارَى الْعَرَبِ فَقَالَ لاَ بَأْسَ بِهَا وَتَلاَ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ {وَمَنْ يَتَوَلَّهُمْ مِنْكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْهُمْ }.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Thawr ibn Zayd ad-Dili that
Abdullah ibn Abbas was asked about animals slaughtered by the
Christian Arabs. He said, "There is no harm in them," but he recited
this ayat, "Whoever takes them as friends is from them." (Sura 5 ayat
54).
