Al-Ma'idah 5:87

Juz 7 · Page 122

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تُحَرِّمُوا۟ طَيِّبَٰتِ مَآ أَحَلَّ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمْ وَلَا تَعْتَدُوٓا۟ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُعْتَدِينَ ٨٧

O you who have believed, do not prohibit the good things which Allah has made lawful to you and do not transgress. Indeed, Allah does not like transgressors.

Context

Those who forbade themselves lawful things

87–88

According to the reports, some Companions inclined toward renouncing worldly life and considered forbidding themselves meat, women and restful sleep; the name of Uthman b. Maz'un is mentioned in this connection. In a report from Ibn Abbas, a man said, “When I eat meat my desire for women increases, so I have forbidden meat to myself,” whereupon the verse was revealed: “O you who believe, do not forbid the good things Allah has made lawful to you, and do not transgress.” The following verse commands eating of what Allah has provided, lawful and good.
