The Book of Games and the Animals which May be Slaughtered and the Aninals that Are to be Eaten - كتاب الصيد والذبائح وما يؤكل من الحيوان

حدثنا إسحاق بن إبراهيم، وعبد بن حميد، قالا أخبرنا عبد الرزاق، عن ابن، جريج أخبرني أبو الزبير، أنه سمع جابر بن عبد الله، يقول أتي رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بضب فأبى أن يأكل منه وقال ‏"‏ لا أدري لعله من القرون التي مسخت ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Abu Zubair reported that he heard Jabir b. 'Abdullah saying that there was presented to Allah's Messenger (the flesh) of the lizard, but he refused to eat that, saying: I do not know; perhaps it (lizard) might (be one of those natives of) the distant past whose (forms) had beer, distorted.
