4. Another distortion in above narration where a companion was involved in selling Wine.

Abdur Razzaq San’ani (Died 211 AH) narrates like this : 

أخبرنا ابن عيينة، عن عمرو بن دينار، عن طاوس، عن ابن عباس، قال: بلغ عمر أن سمرة باع خمراً، فقال: قاتل الله سمرة، أما علم أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلّم قال: قاتل الله اليهود حرمت عليهم الشحوم فجملوها فباعوها

Ibn Abbas narrated :

This news reached ‘Umar that Samura had sold wine, whereupon he said: May Allah destroy Samura; does he not know that Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: “Let there be the curse of Allah upon the Jews that fat was declared forbidden for them, but they melted it and then sold it” ?

Ahmad bin Hanbal (Died 241 AH) also narrated same wording with same chain.

Musnad – Ahmad bin Hanbal // Volume 1 // Page 305 // Number 170 // Risalah Al-Alamiyyah Beriut Lebanon.

Now when Sha’fi (Died 240 AH) has mentioned it with same chain he tampered with tradtion by changing the name of companion to ” Fulan – فلان “.
