3796 — Muhammad ibn ‘Awf al-Tā’ī narrated to us that al-Ḥakam ibn Nāfi‘ narrated to them: Ibn ‘Ayyāsh narrated to us, from Ḍamḍam ibn Zur‘ah, from Shurayḥ ibn ‘Ubayd, from Abū Rāshid al-Ḥubrānī, from ‘Abd al-Raḥmān ibn Shibl: that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade eating the flesh of the ḍabb (desert lizard).

============================================

It is also in *Musnad Aḥmad* (17931).

Al-Nasā’ī also narrated it in abridged form (4321) via the route of ‘Adī ibn Thābit, from Zayd ibn Wahb, from him (i.e., the same chain).

It is in *Musnad Aḥmad* (17928).

Al-Nasā’ī also narrated it (4322) via the route of Shu‘bah, from al-Ḥakam ibn ‘Utaybah, and al-Ṭayālisī (1222) via Shu‘bah, from Yazīd ibn Abī Ziyād — both from Zayd ibn Wahb, from al-Barā’ ibn ‘Āzib, from Thābit ibn Wadā‘ah.

It is in *al-Musnad* (17932).

Aḥmad also narrated it (17757), al-Tirmidhī in *al-‘Ilal al-Kabīr* 2/753, al-Bazzār (1217 — *Kashf al-Astār*), and al-Ṭaḥāwī in *Sharḥ Mushkil al-Āthār* (3275) and (3276), and in *Sharḥ Ma‘ānī al-Āthār* 4/197, via the route of al-A‘mash, from Zayd ibn Wahb, from ‘Abd al-Raḥmān ibn Ḥasnah. And in that version it adds: that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) commanded them to overturn the cooking pots, so they overturned them.

(1) A rejected (*munkar*) ḥadīth. Al-Khaṭṭābī said: Its chain of transmission is not up to par. Al-Bayhaqī said (9/326): This is uniquely transmitted by Ismā‘īl ibn ‘Ayyāsh, and he is not an authoritative proof. Al-Jawraqānī said in *al-Abāṭīl* (608): This is a rejected ḥadīth, and its chain is not continuous, and Ismā‘īl ibn ‘Ayyāsh is weak in ḥadīth. Ibn al-Jawzī said in *al-‘Ilal* (1097): This ḥadīth is not authentic, and Ismā‘īl ibn ‘Ayyāsh is weak. Al-Mundhirī said in *Ikhtiṣār al-Sunan*: In its chain are Ismā‘īl ibn ‘Ayyāsh and Ḍamḍam ibn Zur‘ah, and there is criticism concerning both. Al-Dhahabī said in *al-Mīzān* and *Siyar A‘lām al-Nubalā’* in his biography of Ismā‘īl ibn ‘Ayyāsh: This is a rejected ḥadīth; and he added in *al-Siyar*: I consider it to be *mursal* (with a missing link in the chain).

Ya‘qūb ibn Sufyān also narrated it in *al-Ma‘rifah wa al-Tārīkh* 1/291 and 2/318 and 447, al-Bayhaqī 9/326, and al-Jawraqānī in *al-Abāṭīl* (608), via the route of Ismā‘īl ibn ‘Ayyāsh, with this same chain. =
