حَدَّثَنَا أَسْبَاطٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ يَعْنِي الشَّيْبَانِيَّ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ الْأَصَمِّ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فَقُلْتُ تَزَوَّجَ فُلَانٌ فَقَرَّبَ إِلَيْنَا طَعَامًا فَأَكَلْنَا ثُمَّ قَرَّبَ إِلَيْنَا ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ ضَبًّا فَبَيْنَ آكِلٍ وَتَارِكٍ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ مَنْ عِنْدَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ لَا آكُلُهُ وَلَا أُحَرِّمُهُ وَلَا آمُرُ بِهِ وَلَا أَنْهَى عَنْهُ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ بِئْسَ مَا تَقُولُونَ مَا بُعِثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَّا مُحِلًّا وَمُحَرِّمًا قُرِّبَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَمَدَّ يَدَهُ لِيَأْكُلَ مِنْهُ فَقَالَتْ مَيْمُونَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ لَحْمُ ضَبٍّ فَكَفَّ يَدَهُ وَقَالَ هَذَا لَحْمٌ لَمْ آكُلْهُ قَطُّ فَكُلُوا فَأَكَلَ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَخَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ وَامْرَأَةٌ كَانَتْ مَعَهُمْ وَقَالَتْ مَيْمُونَةُ لَا آكُلُ مِمَّا لَمْ يَأْكُلْ مِنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 3009
It was narrated that Yazeed bin al-Asamm said: I came to lbn 'Abbas (RA) and said: So and so got married and offered us food, and w'e ate. Then he offered us thirteen lizards, and some of us ate and some refrained. One of those who were with Ibn 'Abbas said: I do not eat it but I do not regard it as haratn; i do not tell others to eat it or tell them not to eat it. Ibn 'Abbas said: What a bad thing you have said. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) was not sent except to explain what is Imlal and what is haram. It was offered to the Messenger of Allah and he stretched out his hand to eat from it, then Maimoonah said: O Messenger of Allah, it is lizard meat. And he withdrew his hand and said: "This is meat that I have never eaten, but (you may) eat." Al- Fadl bin 'Abbas, Khalid bin al- Waleed and a woman who was with them ate. And Maimoonah said: I will not eat something that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) does not eat.
