Allah Ta'ala ne (Surah Nisa mein) farmaya «al-yauma uhilla lakum-ut-tayyibaatu wa ta-aamul-lazhina ootul-kitaaba hillul-lakum wa ta-aamukum hillul-lahum» ke ”aaj tumhare liye pakeeza cheezin halal kar di gayi hain aur in logon ka khana bhi jinhein kitab di gayi hai tumhare liye halal hai aur tumhara khana in ke liye halal hai.“ Zuhri ne kaha ke Nasara e Arab ke zabiha mein koi haraj nahi aur agar tum sun lo ke woh (zibah karte waqt) Allah ke siwa kisi aur ka naam leta hai usay na khao aur agar na suno to Allah Ta'ala ne usay tumhare liye halal kiya hai aur Allah Ta'ala ko in ke kufr ka ilm tha. Ali razi Allahu anhu se bhi isi tarah ki riwayat naqal ki jati hai. Hasan aur Ibrahim ne kaha ke ghair-makhtoon (Ahl e Kitab) ke zabiha mein koi haraj nahi hai.

Hum se Abu al-Waleed ne bayan kiya, kaha hum se Shubah ne bayan kiya, in se Humayd bin Hilal ne aur in se Abdullah bin Mugaffal razi Allahu anhu ne bayan kiya ke hum Khaibar ke qile ka muasira kiye huay thay ke ek shakhs ne ek thaila phenka jis mein (Yahudiyon ke zabiha ki) charbi ku. Main is par jhapat-ta ke utha loon lekin murr ke jo dekha to peeche Rasool Allahsalla Allahu alaihi wasallam tashreef-farma thay. Main Aap salla Allahu alaihi wasallam ko dekh kar sharma gaya. Ibn Abbas razi Allahu anhuma ne kaha ke (aayat mein) «ta-aamuhum» se murad Ahl e Kitab ka zibah-karda janwar hai.
