English translation

3795. It was narrated that Thābit bin Wadī'ah said: "We were with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ on a campaign, and we caught some mastigures. I roasted one of them, then I came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷻ and placed it before him. He took a stick and counted its toes, then he said: 'A nation among the Children of Israel was transformed into animals that go underground, and I do not know what kind of animal it was.' And he neither ate it nor forbade it." (Sahih)

Arabic text

3795 - حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ بْنِ وَدِيعَةَ، قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: فِي جَيْشٍ فَأَصَبْنَا ضِبَابًا، قَالَ: فَشَوَيْتُ مِنْهَا ضَبًّا، فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَوَضَعْتُهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، قَالَ: فَأَخَذَ عُودًا فَعَدَّ بِهِ أَصَابِعَهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّ أُمَّةً مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مُسِخَتْ دَوَابَّ فِي الْأَرْضِ، وَإِنِّي لَا أَدْرِي أَيُّ الدَّوَابِّ هِيَ» قَالَ: فَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ وَلَمْ يَنْهَ
