وحدثني أبو الطاهر، وحرملة، جميعا عن ابن وهب، قال حرملة أخبرنا ابن وهب، أخبرني يونس، عن ابن شهاب، عن أبي أمامة بن سهل بن حنيف الأنصاري، أن عبد الله، بن عباس أخبره أن خالد بن الوليد الذي يقال له سيف الله أخبره أنه، دخل مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم على ميمونة زوج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وهي خالته وخالة ابن عباس فوجد عندها ضبا محنوذا قدمت به أختها حفيدة بنت الحارث من نجد فقدمت الضب لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وكان قلما يقدم إليه طعام حتى يحدث به ويسمى له فأهوى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يده إلى الضب فقالت امرأة من النسوة الحضور أخبرن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بما قدمتن له ‏.‏ قلن هو الضب يا رسول الله ‏.‏ فرفع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يده فقال خالد بن الوليد أحرام الضب يا رسول الله قال ‏"‏ لا ولكنه لم يكن بأرض قومي فأجدني أعافه ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قال خالد فاجتررته فأكلته ورسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ينظر فلم ينهني ‏.‏
 'Abdullah b. 'Abbas reported that Khalid b. Walid who is called the Sword of Allah had informed him that he visited Maimuna, the wife of Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him), in the company of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him), 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 Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). It was rare that some food was presented to the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him) and it was not mentioned or named. While Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) was about to stretch forth his hand towards the lizard, a woman from amongst the women present there informed the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) what they had presented to him. They said:                      Messenger of Allah, it is a lizard. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) withdrew his hand, whereupon Khalid b. Walid said: Messenger of Allah, 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 Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) was looking at me and he did not forbid (me to eat it).
