Sunan Abi Dawud: Book 16, Hadith 42

Narrated ‘Aishah: (the narrator Musa did not mention the words “from ‘Aishah” in his version from Hammad, and al-Qa’nabi also did not mention the word “from ‘Aishah” in his version from Malik). They (the people) said: Messenger of Allah, there are people here, recent converts from polytheism, who bring us meat and we do not know whether or not they mentioned Allah’s name over it. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Mention Allah’s name and eat.

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ، وَمُحَاضِرٌ، – الْمَعْنَى – عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرَا عَنْ حَمَّادٍ، وَمَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ قَوْمًا حَدِيثُو عَهْدٍ بِالْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَأْتُونَنَا بِلُحْمَانٍ لاَ نَدْرِي أَذَكَرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهَا أَمْ لَمْ يَذْكُرُوا أَفَنَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏
“‏ سَمُّوا اللَّهَ وَكُلُوا ‏”‏ ‏.‏

Sunan Abi Dawud: Book 16, Hadith 42

 
This hadith is from the Sunan Abi Dawud collection of hadiths. For those new to Islamic texts, Sunan Abi Dawud is a classic, respected collection of the teachings and life example of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Written over a thousand years ago by a dedicated scholar named Abu Dawud, it sits among the religion’s six most important source books. It contains thousands of entries that are thoughtfully sorted by practical topics like how to worship, how to conduct business fairly, and how to treat one’s family with kindness. The compiler was renowned for his meticulous fact-checking of each story’s origins, which is why it remains a profoundly trusted and widely studied guide for Muslims on how to live a good and faithful life.
