Chapter: What Has Been Reported Regarding the Dabb Lizard
Hadith 7288
عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ إِنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يُحَرِّمِ الضَّبَّ وَلَكِنْ قَذِرَهُ
Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not declare the monitor lizard to be unlawful; he (peace and blessings be upon him) merely disliked it.
Hadith 7289
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ خَالَتَهُ أُمَّ حُفَيْدٍ أَهْدَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَمْنًا وَأَضُبًّا وَأَقِطًا قَالَ فَأَكَلَ مِنَ السَّمْنِ وَمِنَ الْأَقِطِ وَتَرَكَ الْأَضُبَّ تَقَذُّرًا فَأُكِلَ عَلَى مَائِدَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَوْ كَانَ حَرَامًا لَمْ يُؤْكَلْ عَلَى مَائِدَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قُلْتُ مَنْ قَالَ لَوْ كَانَ حَرَامًا قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that his maternal aunt, Sayyida Umm Hufaid (may Allah be pleased with her), sent clarified butter, lizard, and cheese as a gift to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ate the clarified butter and also ate some of the cheese, but, feeling dislike and aversion, did not eat the meat of the lizard. However, the meat of the lizard was eaten on the dining mat of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). If this animal had been forbidden, it would not have been eaten at the dining mat of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Abu Bishr says: I asked Sa'id bin Jubair, "If this animal had been forbidden, it would not have been eaten at the dining mat of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)—who said this statement?" He replied: "Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said this."
Hadith 7290
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ الْأَصَمِّ قَالَ دَعَانَا رَجُلٌ فَأَتَى بِخِوَانٍ عَلَيْهِ ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ ضَبًّا قَالَ وَذَاكَ عِشَاءً فَآكِلٌ وَتَارِكٌ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْنَا غَدَوْنَا عَلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَأَكْثَرَ فِي ذَلِكَ جُلَسَاؤُهُ حَتَّى قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا آكُلُهُ وَلَا أُحَرِّمُهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا بِئْسَمَا قُلْتُمْ إِنَّمَا بُعِثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُحِلًّا وَمُحَرِّمًا ثُمَّ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عِنْدَ مَيْمُونَةَ وَعِنْدَهُ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَخَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ وَامْرَأَةٌ فَأُتِيَ بِخِوَانٍ عَلَيْهِ خُبْزٌ وَلَحْمُ ضَبٍّ قَالَ فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَنَاوَلُ قَالَتْ لَهُ مَيْمُونَةُ إِنَّهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَحْمُ ضَبٍّ فَكَفَّ يَدَهُ وَقَالَ إِنَّهُ لَحْمٌ لَمْ آكُلْهُ وَلَكِنْ كُلُوا قَالَ فَأَكَلَ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَخَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ وَالْمَرْأَةُ قَالَ وَقَالَتْ مَيْمُونَةُ لَا آكُلُ مِنْ طَعَامٍ لَمْ يَأْكُلْ مِنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ
It is narrated from Yazid bin Asam, he says: A man invited us, and when the dining mat was laid out, thirteen lizards were placed on it as a dish. It was the time of Isha. Some ate from it and some did not. When morning came, we went to Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), and I asked him about this matter. Those sitting near him talked a lot, until some said that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I neither eat it nor declare it unlawful." Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "You have not spoken well. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sent as one who declares things lawful or unlawful." Then he said: "The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was with Sayyida Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her), and with him were Sayyiduna Fadl bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), Sayyiduna Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with him), and a woman as well. A dining mat was brought, on which there was bread and lizard meat. When the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was about to eat this food, Sayyida Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) said to him: 'O Messenger of Allah! This is lizard meat.' So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) withdrew his hand and said: 'I do not eat this type of meat, but you may eat.' Sayyiduna Fadl bin Abbas, Sayyiduna Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with them both), and that woman ate this food, but Sayyida Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) refused to eat, saying: 'I do not eat the food which the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has refused to eat.'"
Hadith 7291
عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الضَّبِّ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَقَالَ لَا آكُلُهُ وَلَا أَنْهَى عَنْهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ أَكَلَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ فَلَا يَأْتِيَنَّ الْمَسْجِدَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about the meat of the lizard while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting on the pulpit. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I neither eat it nor do I forbid eating it. Also, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever eats from this tree, meaning garlic, should by no means come to the mosque.
Hadith 7292
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ قَدْ أُتِيَ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعْنِي الضَّبَّ فَلَمْ يَأْكُلْهُ وَلَمْ يُحَرِّمْهُ
Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the meat of a lizard was brought to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he neither ate it nor declared it unlawful.
Hadith 7293
عَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ وَدَاعَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ اصْطَدْنَا ضِبَابًا وَنَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَعْضِ مَغَازِيهِ قَالَ فَطَبَخَ النَّاسُ وَشَوَوْا قَالَ فَأَخَذْتُ ضَبًّا فَشَوَيْتُهُ فَأَتَيْتُ بِهِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَوَضَعَهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَأَخَذَ عُودًا فَجَعَلَ يُقَلِّبُ بِهِ أَصَابِعَهُ أَوْ يَعُدُّهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ أُمَّةً مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مُسِخَتْ دَوَابَّ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَإِنِّي لَا أَدْرِي أَيَّ الدَّوَابِّ هِيَ قَالَ قُلْتُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ شَوَوْا قَالَ فَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ مِنْهُ وَلَمْ يَنْهَهُمْ عَنْهُ
Sayyiduna Thabit bin Yazid bin Wada’ah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that we hunted dabb lizards while we were on an expedition with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The people cooked and roasted them. Thabit says: I also hunted a dabb lizard and, after roasting it, brought it to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and placed it before him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took a stick and began to turn over or count the dabb lizard’s fingers with it, and then said: A community from the Children of Israel was transformed into animals on the earth, but I do not know which animal it was. I said: O Messenger of Allah! The people have started eating it after roasting it. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) neither ate from it nor forbade eating it.
Hadith 7294
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِسَبْعَةِ أَضُبٍّ عَلَيْهَا تَمْرٌ وَسَمْنٌ وَقَالَ كُلُوا فَإِنِّي أَعَافُهَا
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that seven lizards were brought to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and dates and ghee were also placed on them. But he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You eat, I do not like them.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a man said: O Messenger of Allah! We live in a land where there are lizards; what do you command us regarding them? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It has been mentioned to me that a community from the Children of Israel was transformed (into another form), then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) neither commanded to eat it nor forbade eating it. Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id says that after this, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Indeed, Allah gives benefit to many people through it; most of the food of shepherds is this lizard. If I had it, I would eat it. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) disliked it, he did not declare it unlawful.
Hadith 7296
(وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا) يَقُولُ أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِضَبٍّ فَقَالَ اقْلِبُوهُ لِظَهْرِهِ فَقُلِبَ لِظَهْرِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ اقْلِبُوهُ لِبَطْنِهِ فَقُلِبَ لِبَطْنِهِ فَقَالَ تَاهَ سِبْطٌ مِمَّنْ غَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَإِنْ يَكُ فَهُوَ هَذَا فَإِنْ يَكُ فَهُوَ هَذَا فَإِنْ يَكُ فَهُوَ هَذَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, that lizards were presented to the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Turn it over on its back. So it was turned over on its back. Then he, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Turn it over on its belly. So it was turned over on its belly. Then he, peace and blessings be upon him, said: A group from the Children of Israel went astray, upon whom Allah Almighty became angry; if there is any, then it is this, if there is any, then it is this, if there is any, then it is this.
Hadith 7297
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ضَلَّ سِبْطَانِ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَأَرْهَبُ أَنْ تَكُونَ الضِّبَابَ
(Second chain) The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, said: Two generations from the Children of Israel went astray, so I fear that they are these very lizards.
Hadith 7298
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ عَامَّةُ طَعَامِ أَهْلِي يَعْنِي الضِّبَابَ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ فَلَمْ يُجَاوِزْ إِلَّا قَرِيبًا فَعَاوَدَهُ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ فَعَاوَدَهُ ثَلَاثًا فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى لَعَنَ أَوْ غَضِبَ عَلَى سِبْطٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَمُسِخُوا دَوَابَّ فَلَا أَدْرِي لَعَلَّهُ بَعْضُهَا فَلَسْتُ بِآكِلِهَا وَلَا أَنْهَى عَنْهَا
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him): A Bedouin came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: Most of the food of my family is lizard. You did not give any answer. When you (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a little, he asked the same question again, but you (peace and blessings be upon him) did not give any answer. When he asked the same question three times, you (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty cursed and showed wrath upon a generation of the Children of Israel, and they were transformed into animals. So now I do not know, perhaps this (lizard) is one of them. Therefore, I neither eat it nor do I forbid its eating.
Hadith 7299
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى مَيْمُونَةَ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا وَهِيَ خَالَتُهُ فَقَدَّمَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَحْمَ ضَبٍّ جَاءَتْ بِهِ أُمُّ حُفَيْدٍ بِنْتُ الْحَارِثِ مِنْ نَجْدٍ وَكَانَتْ تَحْتَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي جَعْفَرٍ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَأْكُلُ شَيْئًا حَتَّى يَعْلَمَ مَا هُوَ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ النِّسْوَةِ أَلَا تُخْبِرْنَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا يَأْكُلُ فَأَخْبَرْنَهُ أَنَّهُ لَحْمُ ضَبٍّ فَتَرَكَهُ فَقَالَ خَالِدٌ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَحَرَامٌ هُوَ قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنَّهُ طَعَامٌ لَيْسَ فِي قَوْمِي فَأَجِدُنِي أَعَافُهُ قَالَ خَالِدٌ فَاجْتَرَرْتُهُ إِلَيَّ فَأَكَلْتُهُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْظُرُ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ وَحَدَّثَهُ الْأَصَمُّ يَعْنِي ابْنَ يَزِيدَ بْنِ الْأَصَمِّ عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ وَكَانَ فِي حَجْرِهَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyiduna Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) informed him that he entered with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyida Maymunah bint Harith (may Allah be pleased with her), who was the maternal aunt of Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both). Sayyida presented to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) roasted lizard meat, which Sayyida Umm Hafeed bint Harith (may Allah be pleased with her) had brought from Najd. She was the wife of a man from Banu Ja’far. Whatever the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to eat, he would first inquire about it. (When the lizard meat was presented before him,) one of the wives said: Inform him (peace and blessings be upon him) that this is lizard meat. Upon hearing this, he (peace and blessings be upon him) left it. Sayyiduna Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Is this forbidden? He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: No, it is not forbidden, but it is a food that is not found among my people, and I feel aversion to it. Sayyiduna Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I pulled the meat towards myself and began to eat, and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was watching. Ibn Shihab says: Asam narrated to me, and he narrated from Sayyida Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her); he was raised by Sayyida Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her).
Hadith 7300
عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِضَبٍّ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَأْكُلَهُ وَقَالَ لَا أَدْرِي لَعَلَّهُ مِنَ الْقُرُونِ الَّتِي مُسِخَتْ
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that a lizard was brought to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) refused to eat it and said: I do not know, perhaps it is from among those nations that were transformed.
Hadith 7301
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِضَبٍّ فَلَمْ يَأْكُلْهُ وَلَمْ يَنْهَ عَنْهُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَلَا نُطْعِمُهُ الْمَسَاكِينَ قَالَ لَا تُطْعِمُوهُمْ مِمَّا لَا تَأْكُلُونَ
Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that a lizard was brought to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He neither ate it nor forbade it. I said: O Messenger of Allah! Should we not feed it to the poor? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not feed them what you do not eat yourselves.
Hadith 7302
عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَسَنَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ فَنَزَلْنَا أَرْضًا كَثِيرَةَ الضِّبَابِ قَالَ فَأَصَبْنَا مِنْهَا وَذَبَحْنَا قَالَ فَبَيْنَا الْقُدُورُ تَغْلِي بِهَا إِذْ خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أُمَّةً مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فُقِدَتْ وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ مُسِخَتْ وَإِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ تَكُونَ هِيَ فَأَكْفِئُوهَا فَأَكْفَأْنَاهَا وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ فَأَكْفَأْنَاهَا وَإِنَّا لَجِيَاعٌ
Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Hasnah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that we were on a journey with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). We stopped in a region where there were many lizards (dabb lizards). We caught them, slaughtered them, and began to cook them. Our pots were boiling when suddenly the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived and said: "A nation from the Children of Israel was lost." In another narration, it is stated: "They were transformed." "I fear that perhaps that nation is these very lizards, therefore, overturn the pots." So we overturned the pots, even though we were suffering from severe hunger.
