Hadith 730
730 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا أَبُو يَعْفُورَ الْعَبْدِيُّ، قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي أَوْفَي فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ أَكْلِ الْجَرَادِ، فَقَالَ: «غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سِتَّ غَزَوَاتٍ أَوْ سَبِعَ، فَكُنَّا نَأْكُلُ الْجَرَادَ»
Abu Ya'fur 'Abdi narrates: I was present in the company of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him). I asked him about eating locusts. He replied: I participated in six (the narrator is in doubt, perhaps these are the words) or seven battles with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). We used to eat locusts.
