حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو بِشْرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ خَالَتَهُ أُمَّ حُفَيْدٍ أَهْدَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَمْنًا وَأَضُبًّا وَأَقِطًا قَالَ فَأَكَلَ مِنْ السَّمْنِ وَمِنْ الْأَقِطِ وَتَرَكَ الْأَضُبَّ تَقَذُّرًا فَأُكِلَ عَلَى مَائِدَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَوْ كَانَ حَرَامًا لَمْ يُؤْكَلْ عَلَى مَائِدَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قُلْتُ مَنْ قَالَ لَوْ كَانَ حَرَامًا قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2299
It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (RA) that his maternal aunt Umm Hufaid, gave the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) some ghee, a [cooked] lizard and some dried yoghurt. He ate some of the ghee and dried yoghurt, but he left the lizard because he found it off-putting. But it was eaten at the table of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), and if it were haram, it would not have been eaten at the table of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH). I [the narrator] said: Who said. If it were haram ? He said: Ibn 'Abbas (RA).
