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)
