Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) lifted his hand. I said: Messenger of Allaah, Is it forbidden? He said: No. It is not found in the land of my people, and I feel that I have no liking for it.

There opon he said: No, but it is not found in the land of my people, and I feel that I have no liking for it.

Some of them said that the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) had observed: I neither eat it nor forbid (anyone) from eating it, nor declare it to be unlawful. Thereupon Ibn 'Abbas said: Sad it is what you say! Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) has not been sent, but (to declare in clear words) the lawful and the unlawful (things). We were once with Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) as he was with Maimuna, and there were with him al-Fadl b. 'Abbas, Khalid b. Walid and some women (also) when a tray of food containing flesh was presented to him. As Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) was about to eat that, Maimuna said: It is the flesh of the lizard. He withdrew his hand saying: That is the flesh which I never eat; but he said to them (those who were present there): You may eat. Al-Fadl ate out of that, so did Khalid b Walid, and the women.

Allaah, the Exalted and Majestic, has (made it a source) of benefit for more than one (persons). It is a common diet of the shepherds. Had it been with me, I would have eaten that.

No. 4799

Abu Sa'id reported that a person said: Messenger of Allaah, we live in a land abounding in lizards, so what do you command or what verdict you give (about eating of it)? Thereupon he said: It was mentioned to me that a people from among Bani Isra'il were distorted (so there is a likelihood that those people might have been distorted in the shape of lizards). So he neither commanded (us to eat that) nor forbade (us). Abu Sa'id said: After some time Umar said: Allaah, the Exalted and Majestic, has made it (a source of) benefit for more than one (person), for it is the common diet of shepherds. Had it been with me, I would have eaten that. Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) disliked it.

We said to him: Repeat it (your problem) and so he repeated it, but he did not make any reply. (It was repeated thrice ) Then Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) called him out at the third time saying: O man of the desert, verily Allaah cursed or showed wrath to a tribe of Bani Isra'il and distorted them to beasts which move on the earth. I do not know, perhaps this (lizard) may be one of them. So I do not eat it, nor do I prohibit the eating of it.
