قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبِي عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ وَحَدَّثَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى مَيْمُونَةَ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ وَهِيَ خَالَتُهُ فَقَدَّمَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَحْمَ ضَبٍّ جَاءَتْ بِهِ أُمُّ حُفَيْدٍ بِنْتُ الْحَارِثِ مِنْ نَجْدٍ وَكَانَتْ تَحْتَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي جَعْفَرٍ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَأْكُلُ شَيْئًا حَتَّى يَعْلَمَ مَا هُوَ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ النِّسْوَةِ أَلَا تُخْبِرْنَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا يَأْكُلُ فَأَخْبَرْنَهُ أَنَّهُ لَحْمُ ضَبٍّ فَتَرَكَهُ فَقَالَ خَالِدٌ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَحَرَامٌ هُوَ قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنَّهُ طَعَامٌ لَيْسَ فِي قَوْمِي فَأَجِدُنِي أَعَافُهُ قَالَ خَالِدٌ فَاجْتَرَرْتُهُ إِلَيَّ فَأَكَلْتُهُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْظُرُ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ وَحَدَّثَهُ الْأَصَمُّ يَعْنِي يَزِيدَ بْنَ الْأَصَمِّ عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ وَكَانَ فِي حَجْرِهَا.
English Translation
He said: Ya'qub ibn Ibrahim told us, he said: My father informed us, from Salih ibn Kaysan, and Ibn Shihab narrated, from Abu Umamah ibn Sahl, from Ibn Abbas, that he informed him that Khalid ibn al-Walid informed him that he entered with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, upon Maymunah bint al-Harith, who was his maternal aunt, and she presented to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, the meat of a lizard which Umm Hufayd bint al-Harith had brought from Najd - and she was married to a man of the Banu Ja'far. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, never ate anything until he knew what it was, so some of the women said: Will you not tell the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, what it is that he is eating? So they told him it was lizard meat, and he left it alone. Khalid said: I asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him: Is it forbidden? He said: No, but it is a food not found among my people, so I find myself averse to it. Khalid said: So I drew it toward myself and ate it, while the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, watched. Ibn Shihab said: And al-Asamm - meaning Yazid ibn al-Asamm - narrated it to him, from Maymunah, in whose care he was raised.
