Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَ أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِضَبٍّ فَلَمْ يَأْكُلْهُ وَلَمْ يَنْهَ عَنْهُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَلَا نُطْعِمُهُ الْمَسَاكِينَ قَالَ لَا تُطْعِمُوهُمْ مِمَّا لَا تَأْكُلُونَ.
English Translation
Abu Sa'id told us: Hammad ibn Salamah told us, from Hammad, from Ibrahim, from al-Aswad, from A'ishah, who said: a lizard was brought to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him; he did not eat it, nor did he forbid it. I said: "O Messenger of Allah, shall we not feed it to the poor?" He said: "Do not feed them what you yourselves do not eat."
