حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، ثنا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، ثنا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ بُرْقَانَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ الْأَصَمِّ، أَنَّ الضَّبَّ ذُكِرَ عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ جُلَسَائِهِ: أُتِيَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَمْ يُحِلَّهُ، وَلَمْ يُحَرِّمْهُ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: بِئْسَمَا تَقُولُونُ إِنَّمَا بُعِثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، مُحِلًّا وَمُحَرِّمًا إِنَّمَا جَاءَتْ أُمُّ حُفَيْدٍ بِنْتُ الْحَارِثِ تَزُورُ أُخْتَهَا مَيْمُونَةَ بِنْتَ الْحَارِثِ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَجَاءُوا مَعَهُمْ بِطَعَامٍ فِيهِ لَحْمُ ضَبٍّ فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، بَعْدَمَا أَغْسَقَ - يَعْنِي أَظْلَمَ - فَقَالَتْ مَيْمُونَةُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّهُ لَحْمُ ضَبٍّ فَأَمْسَكَ عَنْهُ فَأَمْسَكَتْ عَنْهُ مَيْمُونَةُ، قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: وَأَكَلَهُ مَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ وَلَوْ كَانَ حَرَامًا نَهَاهُمْ عَنْهُ، وَقَالَ: «إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِأَرْضِنَا، وَنَحْنُ نَعَافُهُ»
The dabb (spiny-tailed lizard) was mentioned in the presence of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), and some of his companions said: It was brought to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), but he (peace and blessings be upon him) neither declared it lawful nor unlawful. At this Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: What an evil thing you have said! The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was sent precisely to declare things lawful and unlawful. What actually happened is that Umm Hufayd bint al-Harith came to visit her sister Sayyidah Maymunah bint al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with her), who was the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and they brought food with them in which there was the meat of a dabb. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came after the night had deepened, that is, when darkness had fallen, and Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: O Messenger of Allah, this is the meat of a dabb. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) held his hand back from it, and Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) also held her hand back from it. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Those who were present there ate it, and had it been unlawful he (peace and blessings be upon him) would have forbidden them from it. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is not the food of our land, and we find it distasteful."
