Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ خَالَتَهُ ، أَهْدَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم سَمْنًا وَأَضُبًّا وَأَقِطًا فَأَكَلَ مِنَ السَّمْنِ وَمِنَ الأَقِطِ وَتَرَكَ الأَضُبَّ تَقَذُّرًا وَأُكِلَ عَلَى مَائِدَتِهِ وَلَوْ كَانَ حَرَامًا مَا أُكِلَ عَلَى مَائِدَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏.‏

Translation

Hafs ibn ʿUmar narrated to us: Shuʿbah narrated to us, from Abu Bishr, from Saʿid ibn Jubayr, from Ibn ʿAbbas: His maternal aunt gave the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ghee, desert monitor lizards, and aqit (dried curd). He ate some of the ghee and aqit, but left the lizards out of aversion. They were eaten at his dining spread; had they been unlawful, they would not have been eaten at the dining spread of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
