Hadith of Maymunah bint al-Harith al-Hilaliyyah, the wife of the Prophet (SAW)
حديث ميمونة بنت الحارث الهلالية زوج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم
Hadith 1163:19
Ya'qub ibn Ibrahim ibn Sa'd narrated to us, he said: My father narrated to me, from Salih ibn Kaysan, and Ibn Shihab narrated from Abu Umamah ibn Sahl, from Ibn Abbas, that he informed him that Khalid ibn al-Walid entered with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, upon Maymunah bint al-Harith, and she was his maternal aunt. A roasted lizard was presented to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, which Umm Hufayd bint al-Harith had brought from Najd, and she was married to a man from Banu Ja'far. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, would not eat anything until he knew what it was. Some of the women said: "Will you not inform the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, of what he is eating?" So they informed him that it was lizard meat, and he refrained from it. Khalid said: "I asked the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, 'Is it forbidden?' He said: 'No, but it is food that is not among my people, so I find that I dislike it.'" Khalid said: "So I pulled it toward me and ate it, while the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was looking." He said: Al-Asamm narrated it from Maymunah, and he was in her care—meaning this hadith—and I think that al-Asamm is Yazid ibn al-Asamm.
حدثنا يعقوب بن إبراهيم بن سعد، قال: حدثني أبي، عن صالح بن كيسان، وحدث ابن شهاب، عن أبي أمامة بن سهل، عن ابن عباس، أنه أخبره أن خالد بن الوليد دخل مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم على ميمونة بنت الحارث، وهي خالته ، فقدم إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لحم ضب، جاءت به أم حفيد ابنة الحارث من نجد، وكانت تحت رجل من بني جعفر وكان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لا يأكل شيئا حتى يعلم ما هو؟ فقال بعض النسوة: ألا تخبرن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ما يأكل، فأخبرته أنه لحم ضب، فتركه. قال خالد: فسألت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أحرام هو؟ قال: " لا، ولكنه طعام ليس في قومي، فأجدني أعافه ". قال خالد: فاجتررته إلي، فأكلته، ورسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ينظر قال: وحدثه الأصم، عن ميمونة، وكان في حجرها، يعني بهذا الحديث، وأظن أن الأصم يزيد بن الأصم
