Sahih Muslim 1950
وَحَدَّثَنِي سَلَمَةُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَعْيَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْقِلٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ جَابِرًا عَنِ الضَّبِّ، فَقَالَ لاَ تَطْعَمُوهُ . وَقَذِرَهُ وَقَالَ قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَمْ يُحَرِّمْهُ . إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَنْفَعُ بِهِ غَيْرَ وَاحِدٍ فَإِنَّمَا طَعَامُ عَامَّةِ الرِّعَاءِ مِنْهُ وَلَوْ كَانَ عِنْدِي طَعِمْتُهُ .

Salamah ibn Shabib narrated this to me: al-Hasan ibn Ayan narrated to us: Maqil narrated to us, from Abu al-Zubayr, who said: I asked Jabir about the dabb. He said: Do not eat it; he found it repulsive. The narrator said: Umar ibn al-Khattab said that the Prophet did not prohibit it. Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, lets many people benefit from it; it is the common food of shepherds. If I had some, I would eat it.
