[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ invited a man, so I went with him. They brought a dish that had a lizard in it, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ began to eat from that lizard and liked it. Anas said: "When I saw that, I started to throw it towards him and not feed him." The wording of the hadith is for Abu Usamah.

البيهقي:١٤٦٢٠ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ نا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الصَّغَانِيُّ نا أَبُو النَّضْرِ نا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ ح وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْحِيرِيُّ نا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ نا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ نا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ ؓ قَالَ

دَعَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ رَجُلٌ فَانْطَلَقْتُ مَعَهُ فَجِيءَ بِمَرَقَةٍ فِيهَا دُبَّاءٌ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْكُلُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الدُّبَّاءِ وَيُعْجِبُهُ قَالَ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ ذَلِكَ جَعَلْتُ أُلْقِيهِ إِلَيْهِ وَلَا أَطْعَمُهُ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَمَا زِلْتُ بَعْدُ يُعْجِبُنِي الدُّبَّاءُ لَفْظُ الْحَدِيثِ لِأَبِي أُسَامَةَ

رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ أَبِي كُرَيْبٍ وَأَخْرَجَهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ثُمَامَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ ذَلِكَ جَعَلْتُ أَجْمَعُهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called a man, and he set off, and I went with him. He said, "Bring a container that has a dubba (a type of lizard) in it." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ started eating that dubba and he liked it. When I saw that, I threw it towards him without eating anything from it. Anas said, "I still like it." Sulaiman said, "I narrated this hadith to Sulaiman At-Taymi, who said, 'Whenever Anas ibn Malik brought us food during the time of the dubba, we would always find it in his meal.'"
