That he went with Messenger of Allah ﷺ to the house of Maimuna, who was his and Ibn ʿAbbas' aunt. He found with her a roasted mastigure which her sister Hufaida bint Al-Harith had brought from Najd. Maimuna presented the mastigure before Messenger of Allah ﷺ who rarely started eating any (unfamiliar) food before it was described and named for him. (But that time) Messenger of Allah ﷺ stretched his hand towards the (meat of the) mastigure whereupon a lady from among those who were present, said, "You should inform Messenger of Allah ﷺ of what you have presented to him. O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! It is the meat of a mastigure." (On learning that) Messenger of Allah ﷺ withdrew his hand from the meat of the mastigure. Khalid bin Al-Walid said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Is this unlawful to eat?" Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "No, but it is not found in the land of my people, so I do not like it." Khalid said, "Then I pulled the mastigure (meat) towards me and ate it while Messenger of Allah ﷺ was looking at me.
