حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ خَالَتَهُ أَهْدَتْ إِلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَمْنًا وَأَضُبًّا وَأَقِطًا فَأَکَلَ مِنْ السَّمْنِ وَمِنْ الْأَقِطِ وَتَرَکَ الْأَضُبَّ تَقَذُّرًا وَأُکِلَ عَلَی مَائِدَتِهِ وَلَوْ کَانَ حَرَامًا مَا أُکِلَ عَلَی مَائِدَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3793
Ibn Abbas said that his maternal aunt presented to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ clarified butter, lizards and cottage cheese. He ate from clarified butter and cheese, but left the lizard abominably. It was eaten on the food cloth of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Had it been unlawful, it would not have been eaten on the food cloth of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
