It is narrated from Amr bin Dinar that he said: I said to Jabir bin Zayd: "People claim that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the meat of domestic donkeys at the time of the Battle of Khaybar." He replied: "Al-Hakam bin Amr used to say that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said so, but the ocean (of knowledge) (Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both)) rejected that and recited this verse: 'Say: I do not find in what has been revealed to me anything forbidden to one who eats it' [Surah al-An'am: 145] ." (Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas used to say that) the people of the days of ignorance would leave certain things merely out of disgust, so Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed His Book and made clear in it what is lawful and what is unlawful. So whatever Allah made lawful is lawful, whatever He made unlawful is unlawful, and whatever He remained silent about is pardoned. Then he recited this whole verse: "Say: I do not find in what has been revealed to me anything forbidden to one who eats it, unless it be carrion, or blood poured forth, or the flesh of swine." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it with this wording.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he heard a man saying: "Evil is not from divine decree (qadar)." He said: "Between us and those who deny divine decree (the decisive word) are these verses: 'Those who associate partners with Allah will say: If Allah had willed, we would not have associated partners, nor would our forefathers' up to 'So if He had willed, He would have guided you all' [Surah al-An'am: 148 - 149] ." Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) (further) said: "Intelligence and foolishness (everything) are from divine decree." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: "Indeed, in Surah al-An'am there are decisive verses which are the Mother of the Book (the foundation of the religion)." Then he recited this verse: "Say: Come, I will recite to you what your Lord has forbidden to you" (to the end) [Surah al-An'am: 151] . This hadith has an authentic (sahih) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: When Allah Almighty revealed these verses: "And do not approach the wealth of the orphan except in the way that is best" [Surah al-An'am: 152] and "Indeed, those who consume the wealth of orphans unjustly are only consuming fire into their bellies, and they will be burned in a blazing Fire" [Surah an-Nisa: 10] , everyone who had an orphan with him separated his own food and drink from the orphan's food and drink, to the extent that if something was left over from his (the orphan's) food, it would be kept aside for him until either he ate it or it spoiled. This situation became very hard for them, so they mentioned it to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Then Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed this verse: "And they ask you about orphans. Say: Setting right their affairs is best, and if you mix your affairs with theirs, they are your brothers" [Surah al-Baqarah: 220] . So (after that) they mixed their food and drink with their food and drink. This hadith has an authentic (sahih) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubadah bin al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Who will pledge allegiance to me on these verses?" Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: "Say: Come, I will recite to you what your Lord has forbidden to you" [Surah al-An'am: 151] until he completed the three verses. (Then he said:) "Whoever fulfils (these conditions), his reward is with Allah. Whoever falls short in any of them (violates them) and Allah seizes him for it in this world, it will be a punishment (an expiation) for him. And whoever is given respite until the Hereafter, his affair is with Allah: if He wills He will punish him, and if He wills He will forgive him." This hadith has an authentic (sahih) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it. The two Shaykhs agreed only upon the narration of al-Zuhri from Abu Idris whose wording is: 'Baya'uni 'ala an la tushriku billahi shay'an' (Pledge allegiance to me that you will not associate anything with Allah). Sufyan bin Husayn narrated both of these hadiths from al-Zuhri, so when they are reconciled, neither of them should be attributed to error. And Allah knows best.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) drew a line for us (on the ground), then drew (other) lines to its right and its left, then said: "This is the path of Allah, and these (lines on the right and left) are various paths, on each of which sits a devil calling to it." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: "And this is My straight path, so follow it, and do not follow other paths, for they will separate you from His path" [Surah al-An'am: 153] . This hadith has an authentic (sahih) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it. A supporting narration for it, with the very same wording, is transmitted by al-Sha'bi from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) through a route that is not relied upon.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) concerning this saying of Allah Almighty: "And We certainly created you, then We fashioned you" [Surah al-A'raf: 11] that he said: "They (human beings) were created in the loins of men and fashioned in the wombs of women." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not call faces ugly," and then the narrator mentioned the rest of the hadith. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: Allah Almighty created four things with His own hand: the Throne, the Gardens of Eden, Adam and the Pen. And He veiled Himself from (His) creation with four things: fire, darkness, light and (again) darkness. This hadith has an authentic (sahih) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: The clothing of Sayyiduna Adam and Sayyidah Hawwa (peace be upon them both) was like fingernails (smooth and shining). Then when they tasted (the fruit of) the tree, they began to fasten leaves of Paradise over themselves. He said: (Those leaves) were of the fig tree. This hadith has an authentic (sahih) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
