أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ سَلَامُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ حَصِينٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ عَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ فَنَزَلْنَا مَنْزِلًا فَأَصَابَ النَّاسُ ضِبَابًا فَأَخَذْتُ ضَبًّا فَشَوَيْتُهُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَخَذَ عُودًا فَعُدُّ بِهِ أَصَابِعَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّ أُمَّةً مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مُسِخَتْ دَوَابَّ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَأَنَا لَا أَدْرِي أَيَّ الدَّوَابِّ هُنَّ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ أَكَلُوا مِنْهَا قَالَ «فَمَا أَمَرَنَا بِأَكْلِهَا وَلَا نَهَى»

✧ “We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey. We stopped at a place, and the people caught dabb lizards. I took a dabb, roasted it, and brought it to the Prophet ﷺ. He took a stick and counted his fingers with it, then said, ‘A community of the Children of Israel was transformed into beasts on the earth, and I do not know which beasts they are.’ I said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, the people have eaten from them.’ He said, ‘He neither commanded us to eat them nor forbade it.’”
