Authentic graded by Salim al-Hilali Muwatta Malik 1699

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏

"‏ قَاتَلَ اللَّهُ الْيَهُودَ نُهُوا عَنْ أَكْلِ الشَّحْمِ فَبَاعُوهُ فَأَكَلُوا ثَمَنَهُ ‏"

Yahya related to me from Malik that Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'May Allah curse the jews! They were forbidden to eat fat, so they sold it and ate its price.' "

Reported by Malik (No. 1699).
