Below we, present a Hadith: وَ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا أَيْضاً عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ مُفَضَّلِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَخْبِرْنِي جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ لِمَ حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى الْخَمْرَ وَ الْمَيْتَةَ وَ الدَّمَ وَ لَحْمَ الْخِنْزِيرِ And a number of our companions as well, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Muhammad Bin Aslam, from Abdul Rahman Bin Salim, from Mufazzal Bin Umar who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah -asws , ‘Inform me, may I be sacrificed for you -asws , why did Allah -azwj Blessed and Exalted Prohibit the wine, and the dead, and the blood , and the flesh of the swine?’ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى لَمْ يُحَرِّمْ ذَلِكَ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ وَ أَحَلَّ لَهُمْ سِوَاهُ رَغْبَةً مِنْهُ فِيمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ لَا زُهْداً فِيمَا أَحَلَّ لَهُمْ وَ لَكِنَّهُ خَلَقَ الْخَلْقَ وَ عَلِمَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَا تَقُومُ بِهِ أَبْدَانُهُمْ وَ مَا يُصْلِحُهُمْ فَأَحَلَّهُ لَهُمْ وَ أَبَاحَهُ تَفَضُّلًا مِنْهُ عَلَيْهِمْ بِهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى لِمَصْلَحَتِهِمْ وَ عَلِمَ مَا يَضُرُّهُمْ فَنَهَاهُمْ عَنْهُ وَ حَرَّمَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ So, he -asws said: ‘Allah -azwj Glorious and Exalted did not Prohibit that upon His -azwj servants, and Permit for them besides it as a Desire from Him -azwj with regards to what He -azwj Prohibits upon them, nor as a Distaste with regards to what He -azwj Permitted for them, but He -azwj Created the creatures and the Mighty and Majestic Knows what their bodies stand by and what is correct for them.
Thus, He -azwj Permitted for them and Authorised it for them as a Grace from Him -azwj the Blessed and High, upon them with it for their correctness; and He -azwj Knows what harms them, so He -azwj Forbade them from it, and Prohibited it upon them.
[17] In another Holy Verse: قُلْ مَنْ حَرَّمَ زِينَةَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي أَخْرَجَ لِعِبَادِهِ وَالطَّيِّبَاتِ مِنَ الرِّزْقِ ۚ قُلْ هِيَ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا خَالِصَةً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ۗ كَذَٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الْآيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ {32} Say: ‘Who prohibited adornments of Allah which He Brought out for His servants, and the good from the sustenance ?’ Say: ‘These would be for those who believe sincerely in the life of the world, on the Day of Judgment.
