حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَقِيلٍ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي فِي غَائِطٍ مَضَبَّةٍ، وَإِنَّهُ عَامَّةُ طَعَامِ أَهْلِي؟ قَالَ: فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ، فَقُلْنَا: عَاوِدْهُ، فَعَاوَدَهُ، فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ ثَلَاثًا، ثُمَّ نَادَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ، فَقَالَ: «يَا أَعْرَابِيُّ، إِنَّ اللهَ لَعَنَ - أَوْ غَضِبَ - عَلَى سِبْطٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَمَسَخَهُمْ دَوَابَّ، يَدِبُّونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ، فَلَا أَدْرِي، لَعَلَّ هَذَا مِنْهَا، فَلَسْتُ آكُلُهَا، وَلَا أَنْهَى عَنْهَا».

An Arab of the desert came to Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) and said: I live in a low land abounding in lizards, and these are the common diet of my family, but he (the Holy Prophet) did not make any reply. We said to him: Repeat it (your problem) and so he repeated it, but he did not make any reply. (It was repeated thrice ) Then Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) called him out at the third time saying: O man of the desert, verily Allah cursed or showed wrath to a tribe of Bani Isra'il and distorted them to beasts which move on the earth. I do not know, perhaps this (lizard) may be one of them. So I do not eat it, nor do I prohibit the eating of it.
