Hadith 5264
أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ تَوْبَةَ الْعَنْبَرِيِّ ، سَمِعَ الشَّعْبِيَّ ، سَمِعَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ مَعَهُ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فِيهِمْ سَعْدٌ ، فَأُتِيَ بِلَحْمِ ضَبٍّ ، فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ نِسَاءِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّهُ لَحْمُ ضَبٍّ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " كُلُوا ، فَإِنَّهُ حَلالٌ ، وَلَكِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ طَعَامِي " .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: Some companions were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), among whom was Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him). The meat of a lizard was presented, so one of the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is the meat of a lizard. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You people may eat it, it is lawful, but it is not my food.
Hadith 5265
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السَّامِيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ الْمَقَابِرِيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، قَالَ : وَأَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ دِينَارٍ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ ، يَقُولُ : سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الضَّبِّ ، فَقَالَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَسْتُ بِآكِلِهِ وَلا مُحَرِّمِهِ " .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about the lizard, so he said: I do not eat it, nor do I declare it unlawful.
Hadith 5266
أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَسَنَةَ الْمَهْرِيِّ ، قَالَ : غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَنَزَلْنَا أَرْضًا كَثِيرَةَ الضِّبَابِ وَنَحْنُ مُرْمِلُونَ ، فَأَصَبْنَاهَا ، فَكَانَتِ الْقُدُورُ تَغْلِي بِهَا ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا هَذَا ؟ فَقُلْنَا : ضِبَابًا أَصَبْنَاهَا ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ أُمَّةً مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مُسِخَتْ ، وَأَنَا أَخْشَى أَنْ تَكُونَ هَذِهِ " ، فَأَمَرَنَا فَأَكْفَأْنَا وَإِنَّا لَجِيَاعٌ ، قَالَ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ : الأَمْرُ بِإِكْفَاءِ الْقُدُورِ الَّتِي فِيهَا الضِّبَابُ أَمْرٌ قُصِدَ بِهِ الزَّجْرُ عَنْ أَكْلِ الضِّبَابِ ، وَالْعِلَّةُ الْمُضَمَرَةُ هِيَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَعَافُهَا ، لا أَنَّ أَكْلَهَا مُحَرَّمٌ .
Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Hasnah Mahri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We participated in a battle with the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). We camped at a place where there were many lizards. We were in need, so we caught them and started cooking them in a pot. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) inquired: What is this? We replied: This is lizard which we have caught. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: A group from the Children of Israel was transformed (into another form). I fear, perhaps these are the same. Then the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) ordered us, so we overturned the pots, even though we were hungry.
(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The command to overturn the pots in which the lizard was being cooked is such an order through which the prohibition of eating lizard is intended, and the reason for this is that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) avoided it. This does not mean that eating it has been declared haram.
