وحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّا بِأَرْضٍ مَضَبَّةٍ، فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا؟ - أَوْ فَمَا تُفْتِينَا؟ - قَالَ: «ذُكِرَ لِي أَنَّ أُمَّةً مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مُسِخَتْ»، فَلَمْ يَأْمُرْ وَلَمْ يَنْهَ، قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ: فَلَمَّا كَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ عُمَرُ: «إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَيَنْفَعُ بِهِ غَيْرَ وَاحِدٍ، وَإِنَّهُ لَطَعَامُ عَامَّةِ هَذِهِ الرِّعَاءِ، وَلَوْ كَانَ عِنْدِي لَطَعِمْتُهُ، إِنَّمَا عَافَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.

A person said: Messenger of Allah, we live in a land abounding in lizards, so what do you command or what verdict you give (about eating of it)? Thereupon he said: It was mentioned to me that a people from among Bani Isra'il were distorted (so there is a likelihood that those people might have been distorted in the shape of lizards). So he neither commanded (us to eat that) nor forbade (us). Abu Sa'id رضی اللہ عنہ said: After some time Umar رضی اللہ عنہ said: Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, has made it (a source of) benefit for more than one (person), for it is the common diet of shepherds. Had it been with me, I would have eaten that. Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) disliked it.
