قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبِي عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ وَحَدَّثَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى مَيْمُونَةَ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ وَهِيَ خَالَتُهُ فَقَدَّمَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَحْمَ ضَبٍّ جَاءَتْ بِهِ أُمُّ حُفَيْدٍ بِنْتُ الْحَارِثِ مِنْ نَجْدٍ وَكَانَتْ تَحْتَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي جَعْفَرٍ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَأْكُلُ شَيْئًا حَتَّى ي

English Translation
Khālid ibn al-Walīd narrated that he entered with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ upon Maymūnah — who was his maternal aunt and the maternal aunt of Ibn ʿAbbās — and he found with her a roasted lizard [ḍabb] that her sister Ḥufaydah bint al-Ḥārith had brought from Najd. She presented the lizard to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and he rarely extended his hand to any food until he was told what it was. He extended his hand, and one of the women present said: 'Tell the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ what you have presented to him.' They said: 'It is lizard meat, O Messenger of Allāh.' So he withdrew his hand. Khālid said: 'Is it ḥarām, O Messenger of Allāh?' He said: 'No, but it is not found in the land of my people, and I find myself disinclined toward it.' Khālid said: 'So I pulled it toward me and ate it while the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was watching.'
