وَحَدَّثَنِي سَلَمَةُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَعْيَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْقِلٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ جَابِرًا عَنِ الضَّبِّ، فَقَالَ لاَ تَطْعَمُوهُ . وَقَذِرَهُ وَقَالَ قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَمْ يُحَرِّمْهُ . إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَنْفَعُ بِهِ غَيْرَ وَاحِدٍ فَإِنَّمَا طَعَامُ عَامَّةِ الرِّعَاءِ مِنْهُ وَلَوْ كَانَ عِنْدِي طَعِمْتُهُ .
(Abu Zubair reported:I asked Jabir about ithe eating) of the lizard, whereupon he said: Don't eat that as he (the Holy Prophet) felt disgust. He (the narrator) said that Umar b. al-Khattab reminded: Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) did not declare it to be unlawful. Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, has (made it a source) of benefit for more than one (persons). It is a common diet of the shepherds. Had it been with me, I would have eaten thatRapporté par Abu Zubair : J’ai demandé à Jabir au sujet de la consommation du lézard. Il m’a répondu : « Ne mange pas cela, car le Prophète ﷺ en était dégoûté. » (Le narrateur poursuit :) Omar ibn al-Khattab a alors rappelé : « Le Messager d’Allah ﷺ ne l’a pas déclaré interdit. Allah, le Très-Haut et Majestueux, en a fait une source de bénéfice pour plusieurs personnes. C’est un aliment courant chez les bergers. Si j’en avais eu, je l’aurais mangé. »Grades given by scholars
