مُسْنَدُ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ
Musnad of Jabir ibn Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Ahmad 14684 — Musnad of Jabir ibn Abdullah
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ جَابِرًا عَنِ الضَّبِّ ، فَقَالَ : أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِهِ ، فَقَالَ : " لَا أَطْعَمُهُ " وَقَذِرَهُ ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يُحَرِّمْهُ ، وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَيَنْفَعُ بِهِ غَيْرَ وَاحِدٍ ، وَهُوَ طَعَامُ عَامَّةِ الرِّعَاءِ ، وَلَوْ كَانَ عِنْدِي لَطَعِمْتُهُ .
Abu al-Zubair says that I asked Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) about the lizard: so he informed that once a lizard was brought to him, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I do not eat it, rather the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) felt aversion to it. Sayyiduna Umar says that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not declare it unlawful, therefore Allah benefits many people through it, and it is generally the food of shepherds, and if I had a lizard, I would eat it.
