And Abu al-Tahir and Harmalah narrated to me, both from Ibn Wahb. Harmalah said: Ibn Wahb informed us, Yunus informed me, from Ibn Shihab, from Abu Umamah ibn Sahl ibn Hunayf al-Ansari, that Abdullah ibn Abbas informed him that Khalid ibn al-Walid, who is called the Sword of Allah, informed him that he entered with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, upon Maymunah, the wife of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and she was his maternal aunt and the maternal aunt of Ibn Abbas. He found with her a roasted dabb lizard, which her sister Hufaydah bint al-Harith had brought from Najd. She presented the dabb to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and it was rare that food was presented to him before it was described and named for him. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, reached his hand toward the dabb, and a woman among the women present said: Inform the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, of what you have presented to him. They said: It is a dabb, O Messenger of Allah. So the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, withdrew his hand. Khalid ibn al-Walid said: Is the dabb forbidden, O Messenger of Allah? He said: "No, but it was not found in the land of my people, and I find myself averse to it." Khalid said: So I pulled it toward myself and ate it while the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was looking, and he did not forbid me.
