4317 - Abu Dawud informed us, saying: Ya'qub ibn Ibrahim narrated to us, saying: My father narrated to us, from Salih, from Ibn Shihab, from Abu Umamah ibn Sahl, from Ibn 'Abbas, that he informed him
that Khalid ibn al-Walid informed him that he entered with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, upon Maymunah bint al-Harith — and she was his maternal aunt — and meat of a dab (lizard) was presented to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, would not eat anything until he knew what it was. One of the women said: "Will you not tell the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, what he is eating?" So she told him that it was the meat of a dab, and he left it. Khalid said: I asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him: "Is it forbidden?" He said: "No, but it is food 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 Ibn al-Asamm narrated it to him, from Maymunah, and she had raised him in her care.

============================================
= And Muslim also recorded it (1945) following hadith (1946) via the chain of Sa'id ibn Abi Hilal, from Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir, from Abu Umamah, from Ibn 'Abbas, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was brought — while he was in the house of Maymunah and Khalid ibn al-Walid was with him — the meat of a dab... and he mentioned it.
Al-Hafiz said in "al-Fath" 9/663-664: The reconciliation between these narrations is that Ibn 'Abbas was present at the incident in the house of his maternal aunt Maymunah, as he explicitly stated in one of the narrations, and it seems he sought confirmation from Khalid ibn al-Walid regarding part of it because he was the one who directly asked about the ruling on the dab, and he was also the one who directly ate it. So Ibn 'Abbas would sometimes narrate it from him.
It will also come in the following narration via the chain of Salih ibn Kaysan, from al-Zuhri, with it. And at its end he added: And Ibn al-Asamm narrated it to him, from Maymunah, and she had raised him in her care.
His saying: "I am averse to it" — al-Sindi said: i.e., I dislike it.
(1) In (R) and (H) and the margin of (K): "they told him."
(2) Meaning that al-Zuhri also narrated it from Ibn al-Asamm, from Maymunah.
(3) Both of its chains are authentic. Abu Dawud: he is Sulayman ibn Sayf al-Harrani, and Ibrahim, the father of Ya'qub: he is Ibn Sa'd al-Zuhri, and Salih is Ibn Kaysan, and Ibn al-Asamm: he is Yazid. And it is in "al-Sunan al-Kubra" under number (4810). =
