غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَنَزَلْنَا أَرْضًا كَثِيرَةَ الضِّبَابِ فَأَصَبْنَاهَا، فَكَانَتِ الْقُدُورُ تَغْلِي بِهَا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: " مَا هَذِهِ ؟ " فَقُلْنَا: ضِبَابٌ أَصَبْنَاهَا، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ أُمَّةً مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مُسِخَتْ، وَأَنَا أَخْشَى أَنْ تَكُونَ هَذِهِ. فَأَمَرَنَا فَأَكْفَأْنَاهَا وَإِنَّا لَجِيَاعٌ
✧ We went on a military expedition with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and camped in a land with many lizards. We caught some, and the cooking pots were boiling with them. The Prophet ﷺ asked: 'What is this?' We said: 'Lizards we caught.' He said: 'A nation from the Children of Israel was transformed, and I fear these may be they.' So he ordered us, and we overturned the pots even though we were hungry.

خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَفِي يَدِهِ كَهَيْئَةِ الدَّرَقَةِ، فَوَضَعَهَا، ثُمَّ بَالَ إِلَيْهَا، فَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ: انْظُرُوا إِلَيْهِ يَبُولُ كَمَا تَبُولُ الْمَرْأَةُ، قَالَ: فَسَمِعَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: وَيْحَكَ، أَمَا عَلِمْتَ مَا أَصَابَ صَاحِبَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ؟ كَانُوا إِذَا أَصَابَهُمْ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الْبَوْلِ قَرَضُوا بِالْمَقَارِيضِ، فَنَهَاهُمْ فَعُذِّبَ فِي قَبْرِهِ
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us holding something like a leather shield. He put it down, then urinated toward it. Some of the people said: 'Look at him urinating as a woman does.' The Prophet ﷺ heard that and said: 'Woe to you! Do you not know what happened to the companion of the Children of Israel? They used to cut off whatever urine touched with scissors, and he forbade them, but he was punished in his grave.'
