Khalid ibn al-Walid ate ḍabb1 meat in the Prophet's ﷺ presence. He ﷺ did not eat it himself, but when asked, explained that it was not forbidden. Khalid reports:

فَاجْتَرَرْتُهُ فَأَكَلْتُهُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَنْظُرُ (Sahih al-Bukhari: 5537)
Translation: I drew it towards me and ate it while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was watching.

• Khalid did the eating; the Prophet ﷺ was watching and did not forbid it.
• A report of his ﷺ approval of another person's action in this way is called taqrīr (تقریر).

1. Ḍabb: A lizard-like desert animal found in Arabia; this account concerns its meat.
