Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 25935 — Reports on eating the dabb lizard

It is narrated from Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); she said: A dabb lizard was given to us as a gift, and I prepared it. Then two men of her people came to Sayyidah Maymunah, and Sayyidah Maymunah presented it to them as a gift. Meanwhile, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came in while these two were eating (it). He (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his blessed hand on it, then lifted it and said: "What is this?" She said: A dabb lizard that was given to me as a gift, and I prepared it. So he put it down. Thereupon the two men went to put down what was in their hands, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them both: "Eat, for you two are people of Najd; you eat it. But we are people of Madinah; we find it repugnant."
