ما قالوا في أكل الضبOpinions on Eating Dabb (Desert Lizard)
Hadith 25932
٢٥٩٣٢ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا يزيد بن هارون قال: (حدثنا) (١) داود بن أبي هند عن أبي نضرة عن أبي سعيد الخدري قال: جاء رجل إلى رسول اللَّه ﷺ فقال: إنا بأرض مضبة فما تأمرني؟ فقال رسول اللَّه ﷺ: "إن أمة من بني إسرائيل مسخت دوابا، ولا أدري في أي الدواب هي، فلم يأمر ولم ينه" (٢).
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri, he says that a man came to the service of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and said: "We live in a land where there are many lizards. So what do you command me?" The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Some people from the Children of Israel were transformed into animals. I do not know into which animals they were transformed." Thus, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, neither commanded him to eat it nor forbade him from the lizard.
