from the ḥadīth of Abū Saʿīd as it will come, but it conflicts with the ḥadīth of the chapter, especially with the version mentioned from Thābit ibn Wadāʿah, which al-Bukhārī preferred, for it includes his statement about the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam): "He neither commanded us to eat it, nor forbade it," and it is entirely consistent with the ḥadīth of Ibn ʿUmar. Indeed, it seems to conflict with the command to overturn the pots, narrated in some paths from al-Aʿmash as previously mentioned, for it implies a prohibition against eating it, especially since they were hungry. Ibn Ḥibbān responded to this by saying after the ḥadīth (7/340 - al-Iḥsān): "that the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) intended to deter from eating the ḍabb, and the hidden reason is that the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) found it distasteful, not that its consumption is prohibited." This is a detailed explanation of the ambiguity related to the isnād. As for the differences in wording, it is evident from what was previously mentioned in some of the narrations, whether lengthy or brief, and the issue in such cases is easy and excusable, based on the principle that the addition of a trustworthy narrator is accepted. However, the important aspect of this is what was previously indicated regarding the command to overturn the pots, as it seems there is no room to include it in the aforementioned principle for the following reasons: first, the narrators of the ḥadīth of al-Aʿmash did not agree on it. Second, it was not mentioned at all in the other paths from Zayd ibn Wahb, but in some of them, there is what contradicts it, meaning the path of Ḥuṣayn ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Sulamī, which al-Bukhārī preferred, and the ḥāfiẓ declared it authentic, for it includes: "He neither commanded to eat it, nor forbade it."
