باب إِبَاحَةِ الضَّبِّ:Chapter: The permissibility of eating the Dabb (mastigure)
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حميد ، قَالَا : أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، يَقُولُ : أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِضَبٍّ ، فَأَبَى أَنْ يَأْكُلَ مِنْهُ ، وَقَالَ : " لَا أَدْرِي لَعَلَّهُ مِنَ الْقُرُونِ الَّتِي مُسِخَتْ " .
Abu Zubair reported that he heard Jabir bin 'Abdullah saying that there was presented to Allah's Messenger (the flesh) of the lizard, but he refused to eat that, saying: I do not know; perhaps it (lizard) might (be one of those natives of) the distant past whose (forms) had been distorted.

When he was informed of this, he permitted their consumption.
