My father related to us. He said: Asbāṭ ibn al-Yasaʿ related to us. He said: Yaʿqūb ibn ʿUthmān informed us. He said: Al-Jārūd ibn Yazīd al-Naysābūrī informed us. He said: Abū Ḥanīfa related to us, from al-Haytham, from ʿIkrima, from Ibn ʿAbbās, may God be pleased with them both: He was asked about animals slaughtered by the Christians of Banū Taghlib. He mentioned the Jews and Christians, then recited: “Whoever among you takes them as allies is one of them” [al-Māʾida 5:51]. Thus there is no harm in eating their slaughtered animals or marrying among them.
