سنن نسائی · Hadith 4332
It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that Khalid bin Al-Walid said that he entered upon Maimônah bint Al-Harith, who was his maternal aunt, with the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and some meat of a mastigure was offered to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم .The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم would not eat anything until he knew what it was. One of the women said: “Why don’t you tell the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم what he is eating?” So she told him that it was the meat of a mastigure, and he stopped eating. Khalid said: “I asked the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم: ‘Is it Haram’?’ He said: ‘No, but it is a food that is not known in the land of my people, and I find it distasteful.” Khalid said: “I pulled it over toward myself and ate it, and the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم g was watching me.” And Ibn Al-Asamm narrated it from Maimunah, and he was in her apartment.
