Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 51, Hadith 192

‘Ata’ said: “I heard Ibn ‘Abbas say: ‘By Allah, fire does not make anything permissible or forbidden.'” He said: “Then he explained what he meant by ‘it does not make permissible’ as referring to what they said about At-Tila’ (thickened grape juice), and he explained what he said about ‘it does not make forbidden’ as referring to performing Wudu’ after eating something that has been touched by fire.”

أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدٌ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قِرَاءَةً أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءٌ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، يَقُولُ وَاللَّهِ مَا تُحِلُّ النَّارُ شَيْئًا وَلاَ تُحَرِّمُهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ ثُمَّ فَسَّرَ لِي قَوْلَهُ لاَ تُحِلُّ شَيْئًا لِقَوْلِهِمْ فِي الطِّلاَءِ وَلاَ تُحَرِّمُهُ ‏.‏
