حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ بُرْقَانَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ الْأَصَمِّ سَمِعْتُ مِنْهُ قَالَ ذُكِرَ عِنْدَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ الضَّبُّ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ جُلَسَائِهِ أُتِيَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمْ يُحِلَّهُ وَلَمْ يُحَرِّمْهُ فَقَالَ بِئْسَ مَا تَقُولُونَ إِنَّمَا بُعِثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُحِلًّا وَمُحَرِّمًا جَاءَتْ أُمُّ حُفَيْدٍ بِنْتُ الْحَارِثِ تَزُورُ أُخْتَهَا مَيْمُونَةَ بِنْتَ الْحَارِثِ وَمَعَهَا طَعَامٌ فِيهِ لَحْمُ ضَبٍّ فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدَمَا اغْتَبَقَ فَقُرِّبَ إِلَيْهِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّ فِيهِ لَحْمَ ضَبٍّ فَكَفَّ يَدَهُ فَأَكَلَهُ مَنْ عِنْدَهُ وَلَوْ كَانَ حَرَامًا نَهَاهُمْ عَنْهُ وَقَالَ لَيْسَ بِأَرْضِنَا وَنَحْنُ نَعَافُهُ

مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 3219

It was narrated that Yazeed bin al-Asamm said: Mention of lizard (meat) was made in the presence of Ibn 'Abbas. One of the men present said: It was brought to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and he did not permit it or forbid it. He said: What a bad thing you are saying. Verily the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) was sent to clarify what is permitted and what is forbidden. Umm Hufaid bint al-Harith came to visit her sister Maimoonah bint al-Harith, and she brought some food with her, including some lizard meat. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) came after milking (an animal) in the evening and it was said to him: There is some lizard meat. He refrained from taking it but those who were with him ate it. If it were haram, he would have told them not to eat it. He said: "It is not found in our land and we find it off-putting."
