حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ جَابِرًا عَنِ الضَّبِّ، فَقَالَ: أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِهِ، فَقَالَ: " لَا أَطْعَمُهُ " وَقَذِرَهُ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ: " إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يُحَرِّمْهُ، وَإِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَيَنْفَعُ بِهِ غَيْرَ وَاحِدٍ، وَهُوَ طَعَامُ عَامَّةِ الرِّعَاءِ، وَلَوْ كَانَ عِنْدِي لَطَعِمْتُهُ " (٢)، ،

English translation
Abu al-Zubair says that I asked Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) about the lizard: so he informed that once a lizard was brought to him, and the Prophet (ﷺ) said: I do not eat it, rather the Prophet (ﷺ) felt aversion to it. Umar says that the Prophet (ﷺ) did not declare it unlawful, therefore Allah benefits many people through it, and it is generally the food of shepherds, and if I had a lizard, I would eat it.
