Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 25939 — Reports on eating the dabb lizard

It is narrated from Ibrahim; he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out on a journey, and during it the Companions were struck by severe hunger. A man came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) with many dabb lizards, and he gave those lizards to him (peace and blessings be upon him) as a gift. He (peace and blessings be upon him) looked at them and said: "A section of the Children of Israel was transformed into animals of the earth." So he (peace and blessings be upon him) neither ate them himself nor did he (peace and blessings be upon him) forbid them.
