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

Muslim bin Hajaj Neysaburi (Died 261 AH) narrates : 

حدثنا أبو بكر بن أبي شيبة وزهير بن حرب وإسحاق بن إبراهيم واللفظ لأبي بكر، قالوا: حدثنا سفيان بن عيينة، عن عمرو، عن طاوس، عن ابن عباس، قال: بلغ عمر أن سمرة باع خمراً، فقال: قاتل الله سمرة، ألم يعلم أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: لعن 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” ?

Sahih Muslim – Muslim bin Hajaj // Volume 4 // Page 276 // Number 1618 // Edn. Dar Al-Taseel Riyadh Saudi Arabia.

Imam Muslim took this narration from his three teachers and only mentioned the wording of Ibn Abi Sha’ybah. 

Ibn Majah Al-Qazwani (Died 273 AH) narrared same narration from Ibn Abi Sha’ybah with exact same wording.

Sunan – Ibn Majah // Volume 4 // Page 470 // Number 3383 // Edn. Risalah Al-Alamiyyah Beriut.

Now when we check the book of Ibn Abi Sha’ybah himself there we find the name of companion has been hidden by saying ” Fulan – فلان ” 

Musanaf – Ibn Abi Sha’ybah // Volume 11 // Page 212 // Number 22035 // Edn. Dar Al-Minhaj Riyadh Cairo.

This tampering is either from Ibn Abi Sha’ybah or any of his student who narrated this book from him.
