3871 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثيِرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ: «أَنَّ طَبِيبًا سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ضِفْدَعٍ يَجْعَلُهَا فِي دَوَاءٍ، فَنَهَاهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ قَتْلِهَا»

Based upon this and similar narrations, scholars say that it is unlawful to eat frogs, since it has been prohibited to kill them.
