Muwatta Malik #1106
Game
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَحَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، سَأَلَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ عَمَّا لَفَظَ الْبَحْرُ فَنَهَاهُ عَنْ أَكْلِهِ، . قَالَ نَافِعٌ ثُمَّ انْقَلَبَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فَدَعَا بِالْمُصْحَفِ فَقَرَأَ {أُحِلَّ لَكُمْ صَيْدُ الْبَحْرِ وَطَعَامُهُ} قَالَ نَافِعٌ فَأَرْسَلَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ إِلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ إِنَّهُ لاَ بَأْسَ بِأَكْلِهِ .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abd ar-Rahman ibn
Abi Hurayra asked Abdullah ibn Umar about eating what was cast up by
the sea and he forbade him to eat it. Then Abdullah turned and asked
for a Qur'an, and read, "The game of the sea and its flesh are halal
for you." Nafi added, "Abdullah ibn Umar sent me to Abdar-Rahman Ibn
Abi Hurayra to say that there was no harm in eating it."
