سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ‌ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مِنْ حُجْرَتِهِ وَ مَرْوَانُ وَ أَبُوهُ يَسْتَمِعَانِ إِلَى حَدِيثِهِ‌[5] فَقَالَ لَهُ الْوَزَغُ ابْنُ الْوَزَغِ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَمِنْ يَوْمِئِذٍ يَرَوْنَ أَنَّ الْوَزَغَ يَسْمَعُ الْحَدِيثَ.

‘The Rasool Allah (saww) came out of his (saww) chamber, and Marwaan and his father were both trying to listen to his (saww) narration. So he (saww) said for him: ‘The lizard, son of a lizard!’ Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘From that time they are reporting that the lizard listens to the narrations’.
