[5035] 44 - (1946) It was narrated from Abū Umāmah bin Sahl bin Ḥunaif Al-Anṣārī that 'Abdullāh bin 'Abbās told him that Khālid bin Al-Walīd, who was called Ṣaifullāh (the Sword of Allāh), told him that he entered, along with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, upon Maimūnah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, who was his maternal aunt and the maternal aunt of Ibn 'Abbās. He found in her house a roasted mastigure which had been brought by her sister Hufaidah bint Al-Hârith from Najd. It was rare that food would be offered to him without being described or named. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ stretched out his hand towards it and one of the women present said: "Tell the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ what is being offered to him." They said: "It is a mastigure, O Messenger of Allâh." The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ withdrew his hand and Khâlid bin Al-Walîd said: "Is mastigure Harâm, O Messenger of Allâh?" He said: "No, but it is not found in the land of my people and I have an aversion to it." Khâlid said: "I took it and ate it while the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ was looking on, and he did not forbid me."

44 - (1946) وحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ، وَحَرْمَلَةُ، جَمِيعًا عَنِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ حَرْمَلَةُ: أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ، الَّذِي يُقَالُ لَهُ: سَيْفُ اللهِ، أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى مَيْمُونَةَ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهِيَ خَالَتُهُ وَخَالَةُ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، فَوَجَدَ عِنْدَهَا ضَبًّا مَحْنُوذًا، قَدِمَتْ بِهِ أُخْتُهَا حُفَيْدَةُ بِنْتُ الْحَارِثِ مِنْ نَجْدٍ، فَقَدَّمَتِ الضَّبَّ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَكَانَ قَلَّمَا يُقَدَّمُ إِلَيْهِ طَعَامٌ حَتَّى يُحَدَّثَ بِهِ وَيُسَمَّى لَهُ، فَأَهْوَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَهُ إِلَى الضَّبِّ، فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ النِّسْوَةِ الْحُضُورِ: أَخْبِرْنَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَا قَدَّمْتُنَّ لَهُ، قُلْنَ: هُوَ الضَّبُّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَهُ، فَقَالَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ: أَحَرَامٌ الضَّبُّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: «لَا، وَلَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِأَرْضِ قَوْمِي فَأَجِدُنِي أَعَافُهُ»، قَالَ خَالِدٌ: فَاجْتَرَرْتُهُ، فَأَكَلْتُهُ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْظُرُ، فَلَمْ يَنْهَنِي،
