'Abdullah b. 'Abbas reported that Khalid b. Walid who is called the Sword of Allaah had informed him that he visited Maimuna, the wife of Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam), in the company of Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam), and she was the sister of his mother (that of Khalid) and that of 'Ibn Abbas, and he found with her a roasted lizard which her sister Hufaida the daughter of al-Harith had brought from Najd, and she presented that lizard to Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam). It was rare that some food was presented to the Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) and it was not mentioned or named. While Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) was about to stretch forth his hand towards the lizard, a woman from amongst the women present there informed the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) what they had presented to him. They said: Messenger of Allaah, it is a lizard. Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) withdrew his hand, whereupon Khalid b. Walid said: Messenger of Allaah, is a lizard forbidden? 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. Khalid said: I then chewed and ate it, and Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) was looking at me and he did not forbid (me to eat it).
