English Translation
Ibn Abbas narrated that he entered with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) upon Maymunah, wife of the Prophet - she was his aunt and the aunt of Ibn Abbas - and found with her a roasted lizard that her sister Hufaydah bint al-Harith had brought from Najd. She presented the lizard to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), and he rarely put his hand to food until told about it. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) reached his hand toward the lizard. A woman said: Tell the Messenger of Allah what you have presented to him. They said: It is the lizard, O Messenger of Allah. The Messenger of Allah raised his hand. Khalid ibn al-Walid said: Is the lizard forbidden, O Messenger of Allah? He said: "No, but it is not found in the land of my people, so I find myself averse to it." Khalid said: I pulled it and ate it while the Messenger of Allah was watching, and he did not prohibit me.
