Hadith 3238
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ ، عَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَصَابَ النَّاسُ ضِبَابًا ، فَاشْتَوَوْهَا فَأَكَلُوا مِنْهَا ، فَأَصَبْتُ مِنْهَا ضَبًّا فَشَوَيْتُهُ ، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَخَذَ جَرِيدَةً فَجَعَلَ يَعُدُّ بِهَا أَصَابِعَهُ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنَّ أُمَّةً مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مُسِخَتْ دَوَابَّ فِي الْأَرْضِ ، وَإِنِّي لَا أَدْرِي لَعَلَّهَا هِيَ " ، فَقُلْتُ : إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدِ اشْتَوَوْهَا فَأَكَلُوهَا ، فَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ وَلَمْ يَنْهَ .
´It was narrated that Thabit bin Yazid Al-Ansari said:` “We were with the Prophet (ﷺ) and the people caught a mastigure. They grilled it and ate from it. Then I caught a mastigure so I grilled it and brought it to the Prophet (ﷺ). He took a palm stalk and started counting his finger with it, and said: ‘A nation from among the Children of Israel was turned into beasts of the earth, and I do not know if this is they.’ I said: ‘The people have grilled them and eaten them.’ He did not eat it and he did not forbid it.”
Hadith 3239
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاق الْهَرَوِيُّ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الْيَشْكُرِيِّ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ " أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يُحَرِّمْ الضَّبَّ ، وَلَكِنْ قَذِرَهُ ، وَإِنَّهُ لَطَعَامُ عَامَّةِ الرِّعَاءِ ، وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَيَنْفَعُ بِهِ غَيْرَ وَاحِدٍ ، وَلَوْ كَانَ عِنْدِي لَأَكَلْتُهُ " .
It is narrated from Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) did not declare the dhab (monitor lizard) as forbidden, but he disliked it, and it is the food of common shepherds. Allah Almighty benefits many people through it, and if it were with me, I would certainly eat it.

´It was narrated that Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri said:` “A man from among Ahlus-Suffah called the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) when he had finished the prayer, saying: ‘O Messenger of Allah! Our land is a land infested with mastigures. What do you think of (eating) mastigures?’ He said: ‘I have heard that a nation was transformed.’ He did not tell us to eat them, and he did not forbid that.”

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُصَفَّى الْحِمْصِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ الزُّبَيْدِيُّ ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُتِيَ بِضَبٍّ مَشْوِيٍّ ، فَقُرِّبَ إِلَيْهِ فَأَهْوَى بِيَدِهِ لِيَأْكُلَ مِنْهُ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ مَنْ حَضَرَهُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّهُ لَحْمُ ضَبٍّ فَرَفَعَ يَدَهُ عَنْهُ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ خَالِدٌ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَحَرَامٌ الضَّبُّ ؟ ، قَالَ : " لَا ، وَلَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِأَرْضِي فَأَجِدُنِي أَعَافُهُ " ، قَالَ : فَأَهْوَى خَالِدٌ إِلَى الضَّبِّ فَأَكَلَ مِنْهُ ، وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ .
´It was narrated from Khalid bin Walid that a grilled mastigure was brought to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and placed near him. He stretched out his hand to eat (some of it), then those who were present said:` “O Messenger of Allah, it is the flesh of a mastigure.” He took his hand away, and Khalid said to him: “O Messenger of Allah, is a mastigure unlawful?” He said: “No, but it is not found in my land and I find it distasteful.” He said: “Then Khalid bent over the mastigure and ate some of it, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was looking at him.”
