مَرَّتَيْنِ "، حَدِيثُ يَزِيدَ، عَنِ الْعَوَّامِ،، ١٦٨١٥ - حَدَّثَنَا عَتَّابٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُبَارَكِ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو أُمَامَةَ بْنُ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ - الَّذِي يُقَالُ لَهُ: سَيْفُ اللهِ -، أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَهِيَ خَالَتُهُ وَخَالَةُ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ -، فَوَجَدَ عِنْدَهَا ضَبًّا مَحْنُوذًا قَدِمَتْ بِهِ أُخْتُهَا حُفَيْدَةُ بِنْتُ الْحَارِثِ مِنْ نَجْدٍ، فَقَدَّمَتِ الضَّبَّ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَكَانَ قَلَّمَا يُقَدِّمُ يَدَهُ لِطَعَامٍ حَتَّى يُحَدَّثَ بِهِ، وَيُسَمَّى لَهُ، فَأَهْوَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَهُ إِلَى الضَّبِّ، فَقَالَتْ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ النِّسْوَةِ الْحُضُورِ: أَخْبِرْنَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا قَدَّمْتُنَّ إِلَيْهِ، قُلْنَ: هُوَ الضَّبُّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ. فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَهُ عَنِ الضَّبِّ. فَقَالَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ:، ، أَحَرَامٌ الضَّبُّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: " لَا، وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِأَرْضِ قَوْمِي، فَأَجِدُنِي أَعَافُهُ ". قَالَ خَالِدٌ: فَاجْتَرَرْتُهُ، فَأَكَلْتُهُ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيَّ، فَلَمْ يَنْهَانِي (١) (٢)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Khalid bin Waleed (may Allah be pleased with him) and Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once both of them entered the house of Ummul Momineen Maymunah bint Harith (may Allah be pleased with her), who was their maternal aunt, along with the Prophet (ﷺ). She placed the meat of a lizard before the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) reached out his hand towards it, or one of his wives said, "Why do you not inform the Prophet (ﷺ) what he is eating?" Upon this, they informed him that it was the meat of a lizard. The Prophet (ﷺ) left it. Khalid bin Waleed (may Allah be pleased with him) says, I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Is it forbidden?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "No, but it is not the food of my people, so I prefer to be cautious about it." So I pulled it towards myself and began to eat it, and during this, the Prophet (ﷺ) kept watching me.
