In the Sahihain it is narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said that the Messenger of Allah was asked if eating the Dhabb was disallowed, because he did not eat from it when it was presented to him. The Prophet replied:
“No. But this food is not found in my people’s land and I do not have the appetite to eat it.”
The Dhabb was then eaten in the presence of the Prophet In addition. The Sahihain it is narrated that Ibn ‘Umar related from the Prophet that he said:
“I neither allow it nor disallow it.”
The meat of the Dhabb is hot and dry and strengthens the sexual drive. When it is ground and placed on a thorn that pierced someone’s skin, it will extract the thorn.
