English translation

[5043] 50 - (1951) It was narrated that Abû Sa'eed said: "A man said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, we live in a land that abounds in mastigures. What do you command us to do? Or what is your ruling to us? 'He said: 'I have been told that a group of the Children of Israel was transformed,' and he did not command or forbid." Abû Sa'eed said: "After that, 'Umar said: 'Allâh (Glorified and Exalted is He) has benefited more than one person by it, and it is the food of most shepherds. If I had some with me, I would eat it. It was just that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ had an aversion to it.'"

Arabic text

50 - (1951) وحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّا بِأَرْضٍ مَضَبَّةٍ، فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا؟ - أَوْ فَمَا تُفْتِينَا؟ - قَالَ: «ذُكِرَ لِي أَنَّ أُمَّةً مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مُسِخَتْ»، فَلَمْ يَأْمُرْ وَلَمْ يَنْهَ، قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ: فَلَمَّا كَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ عُمَرُ: «إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَيَنْفَعُ بِهِ غَيْرَ وَاحِدٍ، وَإِنَّهُ لَطَعَامُ عَامَّةِ هَذِهِ الرِّعَاءِ، وَلَوْ كَانَ عِنْدِي لَطَعِمْتُهُ، إِنَّمَا عَافَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ»
