Bayhaqi 19430 — Reports on the dabb (desert lizard)

أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ أَبُو الْفَتْحِ الْعُمَرِيُّ، أنبأ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي شُرَيْحٍ، ثنا أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ الْبَغَوِيُّ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْجَعْدِ، ثنا زُهَيْرٌ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ عِنْدَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، فَجَاءَ ابْنٌ لَهُ أُرَاهُ الْقَاسِمَ، قَالَ: " أَصَبْتَ الْيَوْمَ مِنْ حَاجَتِكَ شَيْئًا؟ " فَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ: مَا حَاجَتُهُ؟ قَالَ: " مَا رَأَيْتُ غُلَامًا آكَلَ لِضَبٍّ مِنْهُ ". فَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ: أَوَلَيْسَ بِحَرَامٍ؟ فَسَأَلَ قَالَ: وَمَا حَرَّمَهُ؟ قَالَ: أَلَمْ يَكُنْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَكْرَهُهُ؟ قَالَ: أَوَلَيْسَ الرَّجُلُ يَكْرَهُ الشَّيْءَ وَلَيْسَ بِحَرَامٍ؟ قَالَ: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: إِنَّ مُحَرِّمَ الْحَلَالِ كَمُسْتَحِلِّ الْحَرَامِ.
Abu Ishaq (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I was with Abd al-Rahman bin Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah have mercy on him) when a son of his came; I think it was al-Qasim. He asked (his son): "Did you get any of what you need today?" Some of the people asked: What does he need? He said: "I have not seen a boy who eats more lizard (dabb) than him." Some of the people said: Is it not unlawful? He asked: What has made it unlawful? They said: Did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) not dislike it? He said: Does a person not dislike a thing even though it is not unlawful? And he said: Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The one who makes the lawful unlawful is like the one who makes the unlawful lawful.
