It is narrated from Yazid bin Asam, he says: A man invited us, and when the dining mat was laid out, thirteen lizards were placed on it as a dish. It was the time of Isha. Some ate from it and some did not. When morning came, we went to Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), and I asked him about this matter. Those sitting near him talked a lot, until some said that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I neither eat it nor declare it unlawful." Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "You have not spoken well. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sent as one who declares things lawful or unlawful." Then he said: "The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was with Sayyida Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her), and with him were Sayyiduna Fadl bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), Sayyiduna Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with him), and a woman as well. A dining mat was brought, on which there was bread and lizard meat. When the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was about to eat this food, Sayyida Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) said to him: 'O Messenger of Allah! This is lizard meat.' So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) withdrew his hand and said: 'I do not eat this type of meat, but you may eat.' Sayyiduna Fadl bin Abbas, Sayyiduna Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with them both), and that woman ate this food, but Sayyida Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) refused to eat, saying: 'I do not eat the food which the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has refused to eat.'"
