أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنْ صَالِحٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ
أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى مَيْمُونَةَ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ وَهِيَ خَالَتُهُ فَقُدِّمَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَحْمُ ضَبٍّ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَأْكُلُ شَيْئًا حَتَّى يَعْلَمَ مَا هُوَ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ النِّسْوَةِ أَلَا تُخْبِرْنَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَا يَأْكُلُ؟ فَأَخْبَرْنَهُ أَنَّهُ لَحْمُ ضَبٍّ فَتَرَكَهُ قَالَ خَالِدٌ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَحَرَامٌ هُوَ؟ قَالَ «لَا وَلَكِنَّهُ طَعَامٌ لَيْسَ فِي قَوْمِي فَأَجِدُنِي أَعَافُهُ» قَالَ خَالِدٌ فَاجْتَرَرْتُهُ إِلَيَّ فَأَكَلْتُهُ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَنْظُرُ وَحَدَّثَهُ ابْنُ الْأَصَمِّ عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ وَكَانَ فِي حَجْرِهَا

✧ He informed him that he entered with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ upon Maymunah bt. al-Harith, who was his maternal aunt. Meat of a dabb lizard was presented to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would not eat anything until he knew what it was. Some of the women said, “Will you not tell the Messenger of Allah ﷺ what he is eating?” So they told him that it was dabb meat, and he left it. Khalid said, “I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, ‘Is it forbidden?’ He said, ‘No, but it is a food not found among my people, and I find myself averse to it.’” Khalid said, “So I pulled it toward me and ate it while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was watching.” Ibn al-Asamm narrated to him from Maymunah, and he was in her care.
