Musnad Ahmad 170 (Book 2, Hadith 87) #33862
Cursing the Jews for Selling Forbidden Animal Fat

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) cursed the Jews for selling animal fat, which Allah had forbidden them to do.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas: 'Umar was told ­and on one occasion he said: Umar heard that Samurah was selling alcohol and he said: May Allah destroy Samurah. The Messenger of Allah said: 'May Allah curse the Jews, He forbade animal fat to them, so they rendered it and sold it'.
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ذُكِرَ لِعُمَرَ أَنَّ سَمُرَةَ، وَقَالَ، مَرَّةً بَلَغَ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ سَمُرَةَ بَاعَ خَمْرًا قَالَ قَاتَلَ اللَّهُ سَمُرَةَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْيَهُودَ حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ الشُّحُومُ فَجَمَلُوهَا فَبَاعُوهَا‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) cursed the Jews for selling animal fat, which Allah had forbidden them to do. Umar heard that Samurah was selling alcohol and he said "May Allah destroy Samurah". The Messenger of Allah ? then said "May Allah curse the Jews, He forbade animal fat to them, so they rendered it and sold it." This shows us that we should not disobey God's commands even if others are doing so. We should also be careful not to judge people too harshly as only God knows what is in their hearts. We must always remember that we are all accountable for our own actions and will be judged accordingly by God on Judgment Day.
