عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ عَامَ الفَتْحِ وَهُوَ بِمَكَّةَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ حَرَّمَ بَيْعَ الخَمْرِ، وَالمَيْتَةِ وَالخِنْزِيرِ وَالأَصْنَامِ»، فَقِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَرَأَيْتَ شُحُومَ المَيْتَةِ، فَإِنَّهَا يُطْلَى بِهَا السُّفُنُ، وَيُدْهَنُ بِهَا الجُلُودُ، وَيَسْتَصْبِحُ بِهَا النَّاسُ؟ فَقَالَ: «لاَ، هُوَ حَرَامٌ»، ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ: «قَاتَلَ اللَّهُ اليَهُودَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمَّا حَرَّمَ شُحُومَهَا جَمَلُوهُ، ثُمَّ بَاعُوهُ، فَأَكَلُوا ثَمَنَهُ».
Jābir ibn ‘Abdullāh (may Allah be pleased with him) heard the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say in the year of the Conquest, while he was in Makkah: Allah and His Messenger have forbidden the sale of wine, dead animals, pork, and idols. It was said: O Messenger of Allah, is it permissible to sell the fat of dead animals? It is used to coat ships and daub hides, and people light their lamps with it. He said: No, selling it is forbidden.
Then, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: May Allah destroy the Jews and curse them. When Allah forbade them the fat of animals, they melted it and then sold its fat and consumed its price.
