Musnad Abi Ya'la 7084 — from his maternal aunt, Sayyidah Maymunah

Yazid bin al-Asamm (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his maternal aunt, Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her), that she said: "A dhabb (a desert lizard) was given to us as a gift." She said: Two men from her people came to her, so she gave instructions about it; it was prepared and then she served it to the two of them. Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me while the two of them were eating. He (peace and blessings be upon him) welcomed them, then he (peace and blessings be upon him) also reached out to eat, but when he brought the morsel close to his blessed mouth he asked: 'What is this?' She said: It is a dhabb that was given to us as a gift. Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: He (peace and blessings be upon him) put the morsel down (without eating it), and the two men also wanted to take out the morsels that were in their mouths. Upon this the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Do not do that, both of you. You are people of Najd and you eat it, whereas we are people of Tihamah and we find it distasteful (that is, it is not a food favoured in our region).'"
