72. Hunting, Slaughtering
٧٢۔ كتاب الذبائح والصيد
The Prophet ﷺ said, "I do not eat mastigure, but I do not prohibit its eating."
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الضَّبُّ لَسْتُ آكُلُهُ وَلاَ أُحَرِّمُهُ
Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I entered the house of Maimuna. A roasted mastigure was served. Messenger of Allah ﷺ stretched his hand out (to eat of it) but some woman said, "Inform Messenger of Allah ﷺ of what he is about to eat." So they said, "It is mastigure, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ!" He withdrew his hand, whereupon I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Is it unlawful?" He said, "No, but this is not found in the land of my people, so I dislike it." So I pulled the mastigure towards me and ate it while Messenger of Allah ﷺ was looking at me.
أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْتَ مَيْمُونَةَ فَأُتِيَ بِضَبٍّ مَحْنُوذٍ فَأَهْوَى إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِيَدِهِ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ النِّسْوَةِ أَخْبِرُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ فَقَالُوا هُوَ ضَبٌّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَرَفَعَ يَدَهُ فَقُلْتُ أَحَرَامٌ هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ لاَ وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِأَرْضِ قَوْمِي فَأَجِدُنِي أَعَافُهُ قَالَ خَالِدٌ فَاجْتَرَرْتُهُ فَأَكَلْتُهُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَنْظُرُ
