Narrated Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them): His maternal aunt Umm Hufaid (may Allah be pleased with her) sent to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as gifts some cheese, ghee, and a monitor lizard (saanah). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ate from the cheese and ghee, but left the monitor lizard because he did not like it. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) said: The monitor lizard was eaten on the table of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and if it had been forbidden, it would not have been eaten on the table of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
