Abdullah b. 'Abbas reported:
I and Khalid b. Walid went to the apartment of Maimuna along with Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), and there was presented to him a roasted lizard. Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) stretched his hand towards It, whereupon some of the women who had been in the house of Maimuna said: Inform Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) what he intends to eat. Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) lifted his hand. I said: Messenger of Allah, Is it forbidden? He said: No. 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, while, Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) was looking (at me).
