Volume 7, Book 67, Number 445:
Narrated Khalid bin Al-Walid:
Allah’s Apostle and I entered the house of Maimuna. A roasted mastigure was served. Allah’s
Apostle stretched his hand out (to eat of it) but some woman said, “Inform Allah’s Apostle of what he
is about to eat.” So they said, “It is mastigure, O Allah’s Apostle!” He withdrew his hand, whereupon I
said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Is it unlawful?” He said, “No, but this is not found in the land of my people, so
I dislike it.” So I pulled the mastigure towards me and ate it while Allah’s Apostle was looking at me.
Volume 7, Book 65, Number 303:
Narrated Khalid bin Al-Walid:
That he went with Allah’s Apostle to the house of Maimuna, who was his and Ibn ‘Abbas’ aunt. He
found with her a roasted mastigure which her sister Hufaida bint Al-Harith had brought from Najd.
Maimuna presented the mastigure before Allah’s Apostle who rarely started eating any (unfamiliar)
food before it was described and named for him. (But that time) Allah’s Apostle stretched his hand
towards the (meat of the) mastigure whereupon a lady from among those who were present, said,
“You should inform Allah’s Apostle of what you have presented to him. O Allah’s Apostle! It is the
meat of a mastigure.” (On learning that) Allah’s Apostle withdrew his hand from the meat of the
mastigure. Khalid bin Al-Walid said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Is this unlawful to eat?” Allah’s Apostle
replied, “No, but it is not found in the land of my people, so I do not like it.” Khalid said, “Then I
pulled the mastigure (meat) towards me and ate it while Allah’s Apostle was looking at me.

“A roasted mastigure was brought to the Prophet who stretched his hand towards it to eat it. But it
was said to him, “It is a mastigure.” So he withdrew his hand. Khalid asked, “Is it unlawful to eat?” the
Prophet said, “No, but it is not found in the land of my people and that is why I do not like eating it.”
So Khalid started eating (it) while Allah’s Apostle was looking at him. An-Nadr said: ‘Al-Khazira’ (is
prepared) from bran while ‘Al-Harira’ is prepared from milk.
