"A roasted mastigure was brought to the Prophet ﷺ who stretched his hand towards it to eat it. But it was said to him, "It is a mastigure." So he withdrew his hand. Khalid asked, "Is it unlawful to eat?" the Prophet said, "No, but it is not found in the land of my people and that is why I do not like eating it." So Khalid started eating (it) while Messenger of Allah ﷺ was looking at him. An-Nadr said: 'Al-Khazira' (is prepared) from bran while 'Al-Harira' is prepared from milk.  

أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِضَبٍّ مَشْوِيٍّ فَأَهْوَى إِلَيْهِ لِيَأْكُلَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّهُ ضَبٌّ فَأَمْسَكَ يَدَهُ فَقَالَ خَالِدٌ أَحَرَامٌ هُوَ قَالَ لاَ وَلَكِنَّهُ لاَ يَكُونُ بِأَرْضِ قَوْمِي فَأَجِدُنِي أَعَافُهُ فَأَكَلَ خَالِدٌ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَنْظُرُ قَالَ مَالِكٌ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ بِضَبٍّ مَحْنُوذٍ  

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  

I and Khalid b. Walid went to the apartment of Maimuna along with Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and there was presented to him a roasted lizard. Messenger of Allah ﷺ stretched his hand towards It, whereupon some of the women who had been in the house of Maimuna said: Inform Messenger of Allah ﷺ what he intends to eat. Messenger of Allah ﷺ lifted his hand. I said: Messenger of Allah, Is it forbidden? He said: No. It is not found in the land of my people, and I feel that I have no liking for it. Khalid said: I then chewed and ate it, while, Messenger of Allah ﷺ was looking (at me).  

دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَخَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْتَ مَيْمُونَةَ فَأُتِيَ بِضَبٍّ مَحْنُوذٍ فَأَهْوَى إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِيَدِهِ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ النِّسْوَةِ اللاَّتِي فِي بَيْتِ مَيْمُونَةَ أَخْبِرُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدَهُ فَقُلْتُ أَحَرَامٌ هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ لاَ وَلَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِأَرْضِ قَوْمِي فَأَجِدُنِي أَعَافُهُ قَالَ خَالِدٌ فَاجْتَرَرْتُهُ فَأَكَلْتُهُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَنْظُرُ  

It is a lizard. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his hand. I (Khalid) asked: Is it forbidden, Messenger of Allah? He replied, No, but it is not found in the land of my people, so I find it distasteful. Khalid said: I then pulled it and ate it while The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was seeing.  

أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْتَ مَيْمُونَةَ فَأُتِيَ بِضَبٍّ مَحْنُوذٍ فَأَهْوَى إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِيَدِهِ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ النِّسْوَةِ اللاَّتِي فِي بَيْتِ مَيْمُونَةَ أَخْبِرُوا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بِمَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ مِنْهُ فَقَالُوا هُوَ ضَبٌّ فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدَهُ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ أَحَرَامٌ هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ لاَ وَلَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِأَرْضِ قَوْمِي فَأَجِدُنِي أَعَافُهُ قَالَ خَالِدٌ فَاجْتَرَرْتُهُ فَأَكَلْتُهُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَنْظُرُ  

“O Messenger of Allah, it is the flesh of a mastigure.” He took his hand away, and Khalid said to him: “O Messenger of Allah, is a mastigure unlawful?” He said: “No, but it is not found in my land and I find it distasteful.” He said: “Then Khalid bent over the mastigure and ate some of it, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was looking at him.”  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أُتِيَ بِضَبٍّ مَشْوِيٍّ فَقُرِّبَ إِلَيْهِ فَأَهْوَى بِيَدِهِ لِيَأْكُلَ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَنْ حَضَرَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ لَحْمُ ضَبٍّ فَرَفَعَ يَدَهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ خَالِدٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَحَرَامٌ الضَّبُّ قَالَ لاَ وَلَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِأَرْضِي فَأَجِدُنِي أَعَافُهُ قَالَ فَأَهْوَى خَالِدٌ إِلَى الضَّبِّ فَأَكَلَ مِنْهُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ  

Malik related to me from Ibn Shihab from Abu Umama ibn Sahl ibn Hunayf from Abdullah ibn Abbas that Khalid ibn al-Walid ibn al-Mughira entered the house of Maimuna, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he was brought a roasted lizard. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stretched his hand toward it. One of the women who was in Maimuna's house said, "Tell the Messenger of Allah ﷺ what he means to eat." Someone said, "It is a lizard, Messenger of Allah." He withdrew his hand. Khalid said, "Is it haram, Messenger of Allah?" He said, "No, but there were none in my people's land, and I find that I dislike them." Khalid added, "I chewed and ate it while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was looking."  

أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْتَ مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأُتِيَ بِضَبٍّ مَحْنُوذٍ فَأَهْوَى إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِيَدِهِ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ النِّسْوَةِ اللاَّتِي فِي بَيْتِ مَيْمُونَةَ أَخْبِرُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ مِنْهُ فَقِيلَ هُوَ ضَبٌّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَرَفَعَ يَدَهُ فَقُلْتُ أَحَرَامٌ هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ لاَ وَلَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِأَرْضِ قَوْمِي فَأَجِدُنِي أَعَافُهُ قَالَ خَالِدٌ فَاجْتَرَرْتُهُ فَأَكَلْتُهُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَنْظُرُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , was brought two roasted lizards, and with him was Khalid ibn al-Walid. The Prophet, ﷺ , inclined his hand to eat, so it was said to him, "Indeed, it is a lizard." So he withheld his hand and Khalid said to him, "Is it forbidden, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "No, but it is not from the land of my people, so I find it repulsive." So Khalid ate while the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , looked at him.  

أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِضَبَّيْنِ مَشْوِيَّيْنِ وَعِنْدَهُ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ فَأَهْوَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَدَهُ لِيَأْكُلَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّهُ ضَبٌّفَأَمْسَكَ يَدَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ خَالِدٌ أَحَرَامٌ هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنَّهُ لَا يَكُونُ بِأَرْضِ قَوْمِي فَأَجِدُنِي أَعَافُهُ فَأَكَلَ خَالِدٌ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ  

It is a lizard. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his hand. I (Khalid) asked: Is it forbidden, Messenger of Allah? He replied, No, but it is not found in the land of my people, so I find it distasteful. Khalid said: I then pulled it and ate it while The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was seeing. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3794)   

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَخَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ أَنَّهُمَا دَخَلَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْتَ مَيْمُونَةَ فَأُتِيَ بِضَبٍّ مَحْنُوذٍ فَأَهْوَى إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ النِّسْوَةِ أَخْبِرُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ فَقَالَ هُوَ ضَبٌّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَدَهُ فَقُلْتُ أَحَرَامٌ هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِأَرْضِ قَوْمِي فَأَجِدُنِي أَعَافُهُ قَالَ خَالِدٌ فَاجْتَرَرْتُهُ فَأَكَلْتُهُ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَنْظُرُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was brought two roasted lizards, and Khalid ibn al-Walid was with him. The Prophet ﷺ desired to eat them, so it was said to him that they were lizards. He then grabbed them with his hand and Khalid ibn al-Walid said to him, "Is it forbidden, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "No, but they are not found in my people's land, so I find them delicious." Khalid then ate, while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was watching him.  

أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِضَبَّيْنِ مَشْوِيَّيْنِ وَعِنْدَهُ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ فَأَهْوَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِيَأْكُلَ فَقِيلَ إِنَّهُ ضَبٌّ فَأَمْسَكَ بِيَدِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ أَحَرَامٌ هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «لَا وَلَكِنَّهُ لَا يَكُونُ بِأَرْضِ قَوْمِي فَأَجِدُنِي أَعَافُهُ» قَالَ فَأَكَلَ خَالِدٌ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ
