Zahdam al-Jarmi said: We were sitting with Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) when food was presented to him which contained chicken meat. Among those present was a man from the red Banu Taym Allah, and he did not come near. Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: Come closer, for I have seen the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) eating this.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him), who, mentioning the chicken, said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) eating chicken.
