English translation

[5044] 51 - (...) It was narrated from Abû Sa'eed that a Bedouin came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and said: "I live in a low land that abounds in mastigures, and they are the main food of my people." He (ﷺ) did not answer him and we said: "Ask him again." He asked him again and he did not answer him, three times. Then the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ called out to him the third time and said: "O Bedouin, Allâh cursed or became angry with a tribe of the Children of Israel, and He transformed them into animals that move on the earth, and I do not know, perhaps these are descended from them. So I do not eat it but I do not forbid it."

Arabic text

51 - (1951) حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَقِيلٍ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي فِي غَائِطٍ مَضَبَّةٍ، وَإِنَّهُ عَامَّةُ طَعَامِ أَهْلِي؟ قَالَ: فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ، فَقُلْنَا: عَاوِدْهُ، فَعَاوَدَهُ، فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ ثَلَاثًا، ثُمَّ نَادَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ، فَقَالَ: «يَا أَعْرَابِيُّ، إِنَّ اللهَ لَعَنَ - أَوْ غَضِبَ - عَلَى سِبْطٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَمَسَخَهُمْ دَوَابَّ، يَدِبُّونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ، فَلَا أَدْرِي، لَعَلَّ هَذَا مِنْهَا، فَلَسْتُ آكُلُهَا، وَلَا أَنْهَى عَنْهَا»
