Musnad Ahmed: Hadith 2984

I came to Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) and said: So and so got married and offered us food, and we ate. Then he offered us thirteen lizards, and some of us ate and some refrained. One of those who were with Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said: I do not eat it but I do not regard it as haram; I do not tell others to eat it or tell them not to eat it. Ibn 'Abbas said: What a bad thing you have said. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was not sent except to explain what is halal and whal is haram. It was offered to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he stretched out his hand to eat from it, then Maimoonah said: O Messenger of Allah, it is lizard meat. And he withdrew his hand and said: "This is meat that I have never eaten, but (you may) eat." Al-Fadl bin 'Abbas, Khalid bin al-Waleed and a woman who was with them ate. And Maimoonah said: I will not eat something that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) does not eat.
