General Subjects
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، نَادَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا تَرَى فِي الضَّبِّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" لَسْتُ بِآكِلِهِ وَلاَ بِمُحَرِّمِهِ " .
Malik related to me from Abdullah ibn Dinar from Abdullah ibn
Umar that a man called the Messenger of Allah and said, "Messenger of
Allah, what do you think about lizards?" The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "I do not eat them, and I
do not forbid them."
