Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُهْدِيَ إِلَيْهِ ضَبٌّ فَلَمْ يَأْكُلْهُ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَا أُطْعِمُهُ الْمَسَاكِينَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا تُطْعِمُوهُمْ مِمَّا لَا تَأْكُلُونَ.
English Translation
Affan told us: Hammad ibn Salama told us: Hammad informed us, from Ibrahim, from al-Aswad, from Aisha, that a lizard was presented as a gift to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, but he did not eat it. Aisha said: I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, shall I feed it to the poor?' The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'Do not feed them what you yourselves do not eat.'
