حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ تَوْبَةَ الْعَنْبَرِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ لِي الشَّعْبِيُّ أَرَأَيْتَ حَدِيثَ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَدْ قَاعَدْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ قَرِيبًا مِنْ سَنَتَيْنِ أَوْ سَنَةٍ وَنِصْفٍ فَلَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ رَوَى عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَيْرَ هَذَا قَالَ كَانَ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيهِمْ سَعْدٌ فَذَهَبُوا يَأْكُلُونَ مِنْ لَحْمٍ فَنَادَتْهُمْ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ بَعْضِ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّهُ لَحْمُ ضَبٍّ فَأَمْسَكُوا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كُلُوا أَوْ اطْعَمُوا فَإِنَّهُ حَلَالٌ وَإِنَّهُ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ تَوْبَةُ الَّذِي شَكَّ فِيهِ وَلَكِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ طَعَامِي
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 5565
It was narrated that Tawbah al-'Anbari said: ash-Sha'bi said to me: Did you see the hadeeth of al-Hasan from the Prophet I sat with ibn 'Umar for nearly two years or one and a half years, and I did not hear him narrate anything from the Prophet (PBUH) but this. He said: Some of the Companions of the Prophet (PBUH), among whom was Sa'd, went to eat some meat, and one of the wives of the Prophet (PBUH) called out to them that it was lizard meat, so they refrained from eating it. And the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "Eat, for it is halaal - or there is nothing wrong with it; Tawbah (one of the narrators) is the one who was not sure - but it is not something I eat."
