حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَوْفٍ الطَّائِيُّ ، أَنَّ الْحَكَمَ بْنَ نَافِعٍ حَدَّثَهُمْ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَيَّاشٍ ، عَنْ ضَمْضَمِ بْنِ زُرْعَةَ ، عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي رَاشِدٍ الْحُبْرَانِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ شِبْلٍ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " نَهَى عَنْ أَكْلِ لَحْمِ الضَّبِّ " .
Narrated Abdur Rahman ibn Shibl: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade to eat the flesh of lizard.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
Benefit: The narration regarding prohibition is weak in its chain of transmission.
Whereas the aforementioned ahadith are authentic.
And from them, it is established that although the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), due to his natural dislike, did not prefer to eat it, he (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) did not prohibit the Companions (radi Allahu anhum ajma'in) from eating it either.
Therefore, whoever likes it may eat it, as it was eaten at the dining spread of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
And whoever does not like it, should not eat it.
