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."

Malik related to me from Ibn Shihab from Abu Umama ibn Sahl ibn
Hunayf from Abdullah ibn Abbas that Khalid ibn al-Walid ibn al-Mughira
entered the house of Maimuna, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, and he was brought a roasted lizard. The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, stretched
his hand toward it. One of the women who was in Maimuna's house said,
"Tell the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
what he means to eat." Someone said, "It is a lizard, Messenger of
Allah." He withdrew his hand. Khalid said, "Is it haram, Messenger of
Allah?" He said, "No, but there were none in my people's land, and I
find that I dislike them."

Yazid informed him that he heard Sufyan ibn Abi Zuhayr who was from
the Azd Shanua tribe and among the companions of the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, speaking with some
people who were with him at the door of the mosque. He said, "I heard
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say,
'If anyone acquires a dog which he does not use as a sheepdog or for
hunting, a qirat will be deducted from the reward of his good deeds
each day.' " He was asked, "Did you hear this from the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace?" He said, "Yes, by the
Lord of this mosque."
