Sunan ad-Darimi — Hadith #54859

Abdullah bin Salih told us, Al-Layth told me, Yunus told me, on the authority of Ibn Shihab, that he said: Abu Umamah bin Sahl told me Ibn Hanif Al-Ansari, that Abdullah Ibn Abbas informed him, that Khalid Ibn Al-Walid, who is called Saif Allah, informed him, that he had entered With the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, with Maimuna, the wife of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, who was his paternal aunt and the maternal aunt of Ibn Abbas. He was found with her A carved lizard that her sister, Hafidah Bint Al-Harith, brought from Najd. She presented the lizard to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace. He, may God bless him and grant him peace, rarely put his hand to food until he was told about it and a name was given to it, so the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, inclined his hand to a lizard. One of the women present said: Tell the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, what you presented to him. They said: This The lizard. The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, raised his hand, and Khaled bin Al-Walid said: Do you prohibit the lizard, O Messenger of God? He said: “No, but he was not in the land of my people, so I find myself avoiding him.” Khaled said: I chewed it and ate it, and the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace He looked, but he did not stop me
