Sunan an-Nasa'i, hadith 5730

أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدٌ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قِرَاءَةً أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءٌ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، يَقُولُ وَاللَّهِ مَا تُحِلُّ النَّارُ شَيْئًا وَلاَ تُحَرِّمُهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ ثُمَّ فَسَّرَ لِي قَوْلَهُ لاَ تُحِلُّ شَيْئًا لِقَوْلِهِمْ فِي الطِّلاَءِ وَلاَ تُحَرِّمُهُ ‏.‏

Ata' said:"I heard Ibn 'Abbas say: 'By Allah, fire does not make anything permissible or forbidden.'" He said: "Then he explained what he meant by 'it does not make permissible' as referring to what they said about At-Tila' (thickened grape juice), and he explained what he said about 'it does not make forbidden' as referring to performing Wudu' after eating something that has been touched by fire
