488 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ: ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ جُدْعَانَ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ حَرْمَلَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَي خَالَتِي مَيْمُونَةَ وَمَعَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ مَيْمُونَةُ: أَلَا نُقَدِّمُ إِلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ شَيْئًا أَهْدَتْهُ لَنَا أُمُّ غُفَيْقٍ فَأَتَتْهُ بِضِبَابٍ مَشْوِيَّةٍ «فَلَمَّا رَآهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَفَلَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا، وَأَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَأْكُلَ» ثُمَّ أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِإِنَاءٍ فِيهِ لَبَنٌ فَشَرِبَ وَأَنَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَخَالِدٌ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ، فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الشَّرْبَةُ لَكَ يَا غُلَامُ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ آثَرْتَ بِهَا خَالِدًا» فَقُلْتُ: مَا كُنْتُ لِأُوثِرَ بِسُؤْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَحَدًا، ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ أَطْعَمَهُ اللَّهُ طَعَامًا فَلْيَقُلِ: اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِيهِ وَأَبْدِلِنَا مَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُ، وَمَنْ سَقَاهُ اللَّهُ لَبَنًا فَلْيَقُلِ: اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِيهِ وَزِدْنَا مِنْهُ؛ فَإِنِّي لَا أَعْلَمُ يُجْزِئُ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ وَالشَّرَابِ غَيْرُهُ "
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: I went with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) to the house of my maternal aunt Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her), and with us was Sayyiduna Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) as well. Lady Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) submitted to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): O Messenger of Allah! Should we not present to you that food which Umm ‘Afiq gave us as a gift? She brought some roasted lizard. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw it, he spat three times, but he did not eat it. He instructed us to eat it. Then a vessel was presented to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in which there was milk, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) drank from it. I was on the right side of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and Sayyiduna Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) was sitting on the left side, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: “Boy, the right to drink is yours, but if you wish, you may give preference to Khalid.” I said: I will not give preference to anyone regarding what remains from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “When Allah grants someone something to eat, he should say: ‘O Allah, bless it for us and grant us better than it in exchange.’ And when Allah grants someone milk to drink, he should say: ‘O Allah, bless it for us and increase it for us.’” (The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said:) To my knowledge, there is nothing besides this (milk) that suffices for both food and drink (i.e., for hunger and thirst).

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Muhammad Ibrahim bin Basheer
Benefit:
From this hadith, it is understood that one should continue to give each other gifts of edible items. If someone does not like a particular food item or if a person is already full, he may refuse to eat the food. A gift of milk should not be returned. And when a person wishes to give someone a gift or any other item, he should first give it to the one on his right side. Whomever Allah Ta’ala wishes to feed something, then he cannot be prevented from it.

Explanation:
1:
O Allah! Bless us in it and provide us with something better than it.
2:
O Allah! Bless us in it, and grant us more of it.
Note:
(In the chain of narration, "Ali ibn Zayd ibn Jud'an" is weak,
but through another route this hadith is strengthened and is hasan (good).
See:
Sahih Abi Dawud, no. 2320,
al-Sahihah: 2320,
and refer to al-Albani: 426)

Benefits and Issues:
➊
According to some researchers, this narration is weak in its chain of transmission.
And according to others, it is of the level of hasan (good).
As clarified in (al-Sahihah, Hadith: 2320).
Similarly, the researchers of Musnad Ahmad have also considered this opinion to be correct.
See (al-Mawsu‘ah al-Hadithiyyah: 4/344, 345). Therefore, from this hadith it is understood that the dhab (sand lizard) is a lawful animal.
Otherwise, it would not have been eaten at the table of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
However, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) himself did not like to eat it.
➋
Common translators render the meaning of “dhab” as “sousmar” and “goh” (monitor lizard),
which is not correct in any way.
The sand lizard (saanda) is a grass-eating animal,
whereas the sousmar and goh eat frogs and lizards, etc.
The name for “goh” in Arabic
is “waral.”
The goh is larger than the sand lizard.
Zoologists write
that the waral,
the dhab,
and the wazagh (lizard) are very similar in appearance.
And the ahadith make it clear that lizards and the like should be killed,
whereas eating the dhab, i.e., the sand lizard, is permissible.
There is no mention of waral
(goh, sousmar) at all.
➌
It is obligatory to thank Allah for every blessing.
Especially, reciting the transmitted supplications after eating, drinking, and milk is an emphasized Sunnah.

Benefits and Issues:
➊
The mentioned narration has been declared weak in its chain by our esteemed researcher, whereas Shaykh al-Albani has graded it hasan due to other supporting evidences. Furthermore, this narration is also reported in detail in Musnad Ahmad. In it, the supplication after drinking milk is the same as in the mentioned hadith, but the final words of the supplication after eating are different, i.e., instead of (warzuqna khayran minhu), it is (wa-at‘imna khayran minhu). The narration of Musnad Ahmad has also been graded hasan by the scholars due to supporting evidences. Therefore, despite the mentioned narration being weak in its chain, it is actionable due to other supporting evidences. And Allah knows best.
For details, see: (al-Mawsu‘ah al-Hadithiyyah Musnad al-Imam Ahmad: 4/345, al-Sahihah by al-Albani: 5/411, 413, Hadith: 2320)
➋
Reciting the mentioned supplications after eating food and drinking milk is an acknowledgment and gratitude for Allah’s blessing.
➌
Milk is a special blessing from Allah, which is a complete food.
