[7496] 61 - (2997) It was narrated that Abû Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'A tribe of the Children of Israel disappeared and it was not known what happened to them, but I think that they became mice. Have you not seen that if camel milk is put down for them they do not drink it, but if sheep milk is put down for them they drink it?" Abû Hurairah said: "I narrated this Hadîth to Ka'b and he said: 'Did you hear that from the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ?' I said: 'Yes.' He said that several times. I said: 'Shall I read the Torah?'" Ishâq said in his report: "We do not know what happened to them."

61 - (2997) حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى الْعَنَزِيُّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الرُّزِّيُّ، جَمِيعًا عَنِ الثَّقَفِيِّ - وَاللَّفْظُ لِابْنِ الْمُثَنَّى - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «فُقِدَتْ أُمَّةٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، لَا يُدْرَى مَا فَعَلَتْ، وَلَا أُرَاهَا إِلَّا الْفَأْرَ، أَلَا تَرَوْنَهَا إِذَا وُضِعَ لَهَا أَلْبَانُ الْإِبِلِ لَمْ تَشْرَبْهُ، وَإِذَا وُضِعَ لَهَا أَلْبَانُ الشَّاءِ شَرِبَتْهُ؟»، قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: فَحَدَّثْتُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ كَعْبًا، فَقَالَ: آنْتَ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ ذَلِكَ مِرَارًا، قُلْتُ: أَأَقْرَأُ التَّوْرَاةَ؟ قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ: «لَا نَدْرِي مَا فَعَلَتْ»
