أَخْبَرَنَا کَثِيرُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ عَنْ الزُّبَيْدِيِّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُتِيَ بِضَبٍّ مَشْوِيٍّ فَقُرِّبَ إِلَيْهِ فَأَهْوَی إِلَيْهِ بِيَدِهِ لِيَأْکُلَ مِنْهُ قَالَ لَهُ مَنْ حَضَرَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ لَحْمُ ضَبٍّ فَرَفَعَ يَدَهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَحَرَامٌ الضَّبُّ قَالَ لَا وَلَکِنْ لَمْ يَکُنْ بِأَرْضِ قَوْمِي فَأَجِدُنِي أَعَافُهُ فَأَهْوَی خَالِدٌ إِلَی الضَّبِّ فَأَکَلَ مِنْهُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْظُرُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4331
It was narrated from Khalid bin Al-Walid that a grilled mastigure was brought to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and was placed near to him. He reached out his hand to eat it, and someone who was present said: “Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, it is the meat of a mastigure.” He withdrew his hand and Khalid bin Al-Walid said to him: “Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, is mastigure Haram?” He said: “No, but it is not found in the land of my people, and I find it distasteful.” He said: “Then Khalid bent over the mastigure and ate some of it, and the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم was looking at him.” (Sahih)
