It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man asked in the court of the Prophet, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! There is an abundance of lizards in our area, what command do you give us regarding this?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "It has been mentioned before me that a group among the Children of Israel was transformed, but I do not know which animal it was." And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) neither commanded to eat it nor forbade it.
