WE RELATE FROM the Ṣaḥīḥs of al-Bukhārī and Muslim that Khālid ibn al-Walīd Honorific symbol reported that a roasted lizard was presented to the Messenger of Allah Honorific symbol and his hand moved towards it. [Those present] said: “It is a lizard, Messenger of Allah.” He raised his hand. Khālid asked: “Is the lizard ḥarām?” He said: “No, but this was not found in the land of my people, so I find it off-putting.” [1].
