Sahih Muslim: Book 34, Hadith 60

A hadith pertaining to the eating of the lizard is transmitted from the Prophet (ﷺ) on the authority of Ibn ‘Umar, but in this very hadith narrated through a different chain of transmitters there is a slight variation of wording (and the words are): ” A lizard was brought to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) but he neither ate that nor declared it unlawful.” And in the hadith transmitted through Usama (the words are):” The man (inquirer) was standing in the mosque and Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was sitting on the pulpit.”

وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا
إِسْمَاعِيلُ، كِلاَهُمَا عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ مِغْوَلٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنِي
هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ،
اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا شُجَاعُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُوسَى بْنَ عُقْبَةَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ،
الأَيْلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أُسَامَةُ، كُلُّهُمْ عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله
عليه وسلم فِي الضَّبِّ بِمَعْنَى حَدِيثِ اللَّيْثِ عَنْ نَافِعٍ غَيْرَ أَنَّ حَدِيثَ أَيُّوبَ أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ
صلى الله عليه وسلم بِضَبٍّ فَلَمْ يَأْكُلْهُ وَلَمْ يُحَرِّمْهُ وَفِي حَدِيثِ أُسَامَةَ قَالَ قَامَ رَجُلٌ فِي
الْمَسْجِدِ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ ‏.‏
