حَدَّثَنَا عَبِيدَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي وَاقِدٌ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْخَيَّاطُ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ أُهْدِيَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاة وَالسَّلَامُ سَمْنٌ وَأَقِطٌ وَضَبٌّ فَأَكَلَ السَّمْنَ وَالْأَقِطَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلضَّبِّ إِنَّ هَذَا الشَّيْءَ مَا أَكَلْتُهُ قَطُّ فَمَنْ شَاءَ أَنْ يَأْكُلَهُ فَلْيَأْكُلْهُ قَالَ فَأَكَلَ عَلَى خِوَانِهِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2354
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said: Some ghee, dried yoghurt and a lizard were given to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), and he ate the ghee and dried yoghurt, then he said concerning the lizard; "This is something that i have never eaten, but whoever would like to eat it, let him eat it." And it was eaten at his table.
