﴿ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ كُلُوا۟ مِمَّا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ حَلَٰلًۭا طَيِّبًۭا وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا۟ خُطُوَٰتِ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّۭ مُّبِينٌ ﴾

“O MANKIND! Partake of what is lawful and good on earth, and follow not Satan's footsteps: for, verily, he is your open foe,”

(O mankind! Eat of that which is lawful and wholesome in the earth�) [2:168]. Reporting from Abu Salih, al-Kalbi said: �This was revealed about Thaqif, Khuza�ah and �Amir ibn Sa�sa�a who forbade themselves certain foods and meats. They forbade the Bahirah, al-Sa�ibah, al-Wasilah as well as al-Hamiyah�.
