And Salamah ibn Shabib narrated to me, saying: Al-Hasan ibn A'yan narrated to us, saying: Ma'qil narrated to us, from Abu al-Zubayr, who said: I asked Jabir about the dabb (lizard). He said: "Do not eat it," and he expressed disgust at it. He said: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab said: "The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, did not declare it forbidden. Indeed, Allah, mighty and majestic, benefits many through it, for it is the food of most shepherds. And if it were available to me, I would have eaten it."
