English narration
Narrated by ثابت بن وديعة الأنصاري
Narrated Thabit ibn Wadi'ah: We were in an army with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. We got some lizards. I roasted one lizard and brought it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and placed it before him. He took a stick and counted its fingers. He then said: A group from the children of Isra'il was transformed into an animal of the land, and I do not know which animal it was. He did not eat it nor did he forbid (its eating).

حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدٌ ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ بْنِ وَدِيعَةَ ، قَالَ : "
كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي جَيْشٍ فَأَصَبْنَا ضِبَابًا ، قَالَ : فَشَوَيْتُ مِنْهَا ضَبًّا ، فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ 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
