1273 صحيح حديث خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ، أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، عَلَى مَيْمُونَةَ، وَهِيَ خَالَتُهُ، وَخَالَةُ ابْن عَبَّاسٍ، فَوَجَدُ عِنْدَهَا ضَبًّا مَحْنُوذًا قَدِمَتْ بِهِ أُخْتُهَا، حُفَيْدَةُ بِنْتُ الْحارِثِ، مِنْ نَجْدٍ فَقَدَّمَتِ الضَّبَّ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَكَانَ، قَلَّمَا يُقَدِّمُ يَدَهُ لِطَعَامٍ، حَتَّى يُحَدَّثَ بِهِ وَيُسَمَّى لَهُ فَأَهْوَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَدَهُ إِلَى الضَّبِّ، فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ النِّسْوَةِ الْحُضُورِ: أَخْبِرْنَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، مَا قَدَّمْتُنَّ لَهُ، هُوَ الضَّبُّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَدَهُ عَنِ الضَّبِّ فَقَالَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ: أَحَرَامٌ الضَّبُّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ: لاَ، وَلكِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِأَرْضِ قَوْمِي، فَأَجِدُنِي أَعَافُهُ، قَالَ خَالِدٌ: فَاجْتَرَرْتُهُ فَأَكَلْتُهُ، وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيَّ
Hazrat Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) entered the house of Umm al-Mu'mineen Hazrat Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) along with the Messenger of Allah. Umm al-Mu'mineen was the maternal aunt of both him and Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them). There was roasted lizard present there, which her sister Hafidah bint al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with her) had brought from Najd. She presented that roasted lizard to the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). It was very rare that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would extend his hand towards any food until he was informed about what kind of food it was, but that day he extended his hand towards the meat of the roasted lizard. Meanwhile, one of the women present there said, "Why don't you inform the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that what you have presented before him is lizard, O Messenger of Allah!" (Upon hearing this) the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) withdrew his hand from the lizard. Hazrat Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah! Is lizard forbidden?" He replied, "No, but since it is not found in my land, my nature does not like it." Hazrat Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) stated, "Then I drew it towards myself and ate it. At that time, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was watching me."
