Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: A lizard was given to her as a gift. Two men of her people came to her. On the instruction of Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her), its meat was prepared, and then Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) placed that meat before the two men. Meanwhile, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived while the two men were eating. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) welcomed them both, then he too began to join in the meal. When he brought a morsel towards his mouth, he asked: "What is this?" Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "It is lizard, which was given to us as a gift." Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) put the morsel down. The two men intended to take out what was in their mouths as well, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not do that. You people, the people of Najd, eat it, while we, the people of Tihamah, do not eat it."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir; its chain contains Yazid bin Abi Ziyad, who is among those whose hadith is written down despite their weakness.
