The reciter: Abdullah ibn Muslimah narrated to us from Malik, from Ibn Shihab, from Abu Umaymah ibn Sahal, from Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), from Khalid ibn al-Walid:
That he entered the house of Maymunah with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). A cooked lizard was brought to them, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) reached for it with his hand. Some of the women said, "Inform the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) of what he intends to eat." They said, "It is a lizard, O Messenger of Allah." So he withdrew his hand. I said, "Is it forbidden, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "No, but it was not in the land of my people, so I find it repulsive." Khalid said, "So I pulled it toward me and ate it, while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was looking at me."
أنه دخل مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بيت ميمونة فأتي بضب محنوذ فأهوى إليه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بيده فقال بعض النسوة أخبروا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بما يريد أن يأكل فقالوا هو ضب يا رسول الله فرفع يده فقلت أحرام هو يا رسول الله فقال : لا ولكن لم يكن بأرض قومي فأجدني أعافه قال خالد فاجتررته فأكلته ورسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ينظر
