Ash-'Shuʿbi asked me, "Did you notice how Al-Hasan used to narrate Hadiths from the Prophets? I stayed with Ibn ʿUmar for about two or one-and-half years and I did not hear him narrating any thing from the Prophet ﷺ except his (Hadith): He (Ibn ʿUmar) said, "Some of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ including Saʿd, were going to eat meat, but one of the wives of the Prophet ﷺ called them, saying, 'It is the meat of a Mastigure.' The people then stopped eating it. On that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Carry on eating, for it is lawful.' Or said, 'There is no harm in eating it, but it is not from my meals."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَقَاعَدْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ قَرِيبًا مِنْ سَنَتَيْنِ أَوْ سَنَةٍ وَنِصْفٍ فَلَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ غَيْرَ هَذَا قَالَ كَانَ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِيهِمْ سَعْدٌ فَذَهَبُوا يَأْكُلُونَ مِنْ لَحْمٍ فَنَادَتْهُمُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ بَعْضِ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِنَّهُ لَحْمُ ضَبٍّ فَأَمْسَكُوا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ كُلُوا أَوِ اطْعَمُوا فَإِنَّهُ حَلاَلٌ أَوْ قَالَ لاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ شَكَّ فِيهِ وَلَكِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ طَعَامِي

It is the flesh of the lizard. Thereupon Messenger of Allah (way peace be upon him) said: Eat, for it is lawful, but it is not my diet.

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ مَعَهُ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فِيهِمْ سَعْدٌ وَأُتُوا بِلَحْمِ ضَبٍّ فَنَادَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ نِسَاءِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِنَّهُ لَحْمُ ضَبٍّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ كُلُوا فَإِنَّهُ حَلاَلٌ وَلَكِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ طَعَامِي

(Using translation from Bukhārī 7267)

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَقَدْ قَاعَدْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ قَرِيبًا مِنْ سَنَتَيْنِ أَوْ سَنَةٍ وَنِصْفٍ فَلَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ رَوَى عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ غَيْرَ هَذَا قَالَ كَانَ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِيهِمْ سَعْدٌ فَذَهَبُوا يَأْكُلُونَ مِنْ لَحْمٍ فَنَادَتْهُمُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ بَعْضِ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِنَّهُ لَحْمُ ضَبٍّ فَأَمْسَكُوا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كُلُوا أَوِ اطْعَمُوا فَإِنَّهُ حَلَالٌ وَإِنَّهُ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ تَوْبَةُ الَّذِي شَكَّ فِيهِ وَلَكِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ طَعَامِي

It is the flesh of the lizard. Thereupon Messenger of Allah (way peace be upon him) said: Eat, for it is lawful, but it is not my diet. (Using translation from Muslim 1944a)

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ مَعَهُ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فِيهِمْ سَعْدٌ فَأُتِيَ بِلَحْمِ ضَبٍّ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ نِسَاءِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِنَّهُ لَحْمُ ضَبٍّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «كُلُوا فَإِنَّهُ حَلَالٌ وَلَكِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ طَعَامِي»

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ narrated that once a woman from his wives told him that a lizard had been brought to him, and some of his companions started eating it, including Sa'd. Then, a woman from the wives of the Prophet ﷺ called out to Sa'd, informing him that it was a lizard. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Eat it, there is no harm in it, but it is not the food of my people."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ شَيْئًا غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَ مَرَّةً عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أُتِيَ بِضَبٍّ فَجَعَلَ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ يَأْكُلُونَهُ وَفِيهِمْ سَعْدٌ فَنَادَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ ضَبٌّ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «كُلُوهُ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ وَلَكِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ طَعَامِ قَوْمِي»

[AI] Narrated by Ibn Umar, I sat close to him for about two years and I never heard him narrating a Hadith from the Prophet except that one day, some companions of the Messenger of Allah were eating a lizard when a woman from the Prophet's wives called them out, saying that it was a lizard. The people stopped eating it, then the Messenger of Allah said, "Eat, for it is not forbidden nor is there any harm in it. However, it is not a food that my people are used to." Another narration of Abu Zakaria states, "nor is there any harm in it."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنِّي جَالَسْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ قَرِيبًا مِنْ سَنَتَيْنِ فَمَا سَمِعْتُهُ يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ كَانَ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْكُلُونَ عِنْدَهُ ضَبًّا فِيهِمْ سَعْدُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ فَنَادَتْهُمُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ ضَبٌّ فَأَمْسَكَ الْقَوْمُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كُلُوا فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِحَرَامٍ وَلَا بَأْسَ بِهِ وَلَكِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ طَعَامِ قَوْمِي وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي زَكَرِيَّا أَوْ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ

" عَن ابنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: كَانَ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِىِّ ﷺ عِنْدَهُ يَأكُلُونَ ضَبًّا مِنْهُمْ سَعْدُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، فَنَادَتْهُم امْرَأةٌ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِىِّ ﷺ أنَّهُ ضَبٌّ

فَأَمْسِكُوا، فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ : كُلُوا فَإنَّهُ حَلاَلٌ وَلا بَأسَ بِهِ، ولَكِنْ لَيْسَ مِنْ طَعَامِ قَوْمِى".
