وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم سُئِلَ عَنِ الْفَأْرَةِ تَقَعُ فِي السَّمْنِ فَقَالَ ‏

"‏ انْزِعُوهَا وَمَا حَوْلَهَا فَاطْرَحُوهُ ‏"

Malik related to me from Ibn Shihab from Ubaydullah ibn Abdullah ibn Utba ibn Masud from Abdullah ibn Abbas from Maimuna, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was asked about a mouse falling into clarified butter. He said, "Remove it and throw away what is around it "

Reported by Malik (No. 1785).

Abu al-Walid al-Baji — Al-Muntaqa

( ش ) : قَوْلُهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم انْزِعُوهَا وَمَا حَوْلَهَا فَاطْرَحُوهُ يَقْتَضِي أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ سَمْنٍ جَامِدٍ وَلَوْ كَانَ ذَائِبًا لَمْ يَتَمَيَّزْ مَا حَوْلَهَا مِنْ غَيْرِهِ وَلَكِنَّهُ لَمَّا كَانَ جَامِدًا نَجِسَ مَا جَاوَرَهَا بِنَجَاسَتِهَا وَبَقِيَ الْبَاقِي عَلَى مَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ الطَّهَارَةِ قَالَ ابْنُ حَبِيبٍ وَيَكُونُ سَائِرُ ذَلِكَ حَلَالًا طَيِّبًا وَأَمَّا إِنْ كَانَ ذَائِبًا كَالزَّيْتِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَحِلُّ أَكْلُهُ , وَإِنْ أَمِنَ أَنْ يَكُونَ سَالَ مِنْهَا فِيهِ شَيْءٌ ; لِأَنَّ مَوْتَهَا فِيهِ يُنَجِّسُهَا وَقَالَ مَالِكٌ فِي الْمَوَّازِيَّةِ إِذَا أُخْرِجَتْ الْفَأْرَةُ مِنْ الزَّيْتِ حِينَ مَاتَتْ فِيهِ لَمْ أَعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَخْرُ…

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "If a mouse falls into ghee which is solid, throw the mouse and what is surrounding it away; but if it is in a liquid state do not go near it." [Ahmad and Abu Dawud reported it; al-Bukhari and Abu Hatim ruled it to be Wahm (an error) (in reporting it from Abu Hurairah)].
