21 July 2024 Surah 24 v59-61 27th session The Verse of Food 'O Foolish one, recite The Verse of Food.' Ibn Abbas (ra) recites Surah 4 v29 'O believers do not eat up property unjustly unless via trade'. and states this is abrogated by Surah 24 v61 'there is no sin if you eat in your own houses...' Ibn Abbas (ra), the unbelievers try to make you doubt Islam , you don't eat that which is killed by Allah SWT (where animals die of natural causes) but you eat what you kill with your hands. Thr Sahaba related this to The Messenger ﷺ, Surah 6 v121 is revealed - 'Shaiteen inspire their friends to argue with you..' The food of The People of The Book is made permissible, Surah 5 v5. Food of a Siddiqui - 'intimate friend.' Hassan Al Basri (rah) in the absence of the market trader, eats dates & figs. Hisham asks 'O Abu Syed, how can you reconcile piety with this eating? Hassan al basri (rah), 'O foolish one recite The Verse of Food'... (verse 61) 'O Siddique Qum'- a friend whose soul & heart is at rest. Harith ib
