: 686: Al-Hasan: 2: It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah—may Allah be pleased with him—that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Do not commit what the Jews committed, so as to make lawful the prohibited things of Allah through the slightest of deceits."
Its chain of narration (isnad) is sound. Zafaf (104) and Batta (42).
: 687: What Allah has forbidden: 3: The previous source for Ibn Kathir.
136: 690: 'Ubaydah: 1: Addition from Ibn Kathir.
: 690: After: 2: Tafsir Ibn Kathir: (1/109).
: 691: The ignorant: 3: The previous source. Ibn Kathir said: "These accounts are taken from the books of the Children of Israel, and they are among those that are permitted to be narrated, but they are neither believed nor disbelieved."
137: 693: What is it: 1: Tafsir 'Abd al-Razzaq: (1/70).
: 694: That: 2: Tafsir Ibn Kathir: (1/109), and he said: "Its chain of narration is authentic with the wording: 'If they had taken the lowest-ranking cow, it would have sufficed them, but they made it difficult, so Allah made it difficult for them.'"
: 696: Small: 3: Al-Qurtubi said in his "Tafsir: 1/381": In this is evidence for the permissibility of abrogation (naskh) before the time of the action, because when he was ordered to take a cow, it implied any cow. When he added a description to it, he abrogated the first ruling with another, just as if one said: 'For thirty camels, a bint makhad (one-year-old female camel).' Then he abrogated it with a bint labun (two-year-old female camel) or a hiqqah (three-year-old female camel).
Similarly here, when he specified the description, that became an abrogation of the preceding ruling. The farid (the elderly) is the aged one.
