It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that once his maternal aunt, Sayyida Umm Hufaid (may Allah be pleased with her), presented clarified butter, lizard, and cheese as a gift to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ate some of the clarified butter and cheese, but due to dislike, he left the lizard. However, others ate it from the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) dining mat. If eating it had been forbidden, it could never have been eaten at the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) dining mat, nor would the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) have permitted it to be eaten.
