"عَنْ خُزَيْمةَ بْنِ جَزْءٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ رسُولَ الله ﷺ عَنْ أحْنَاشِ الأرضِ، فَقَالَ: سَلْ عَما شِئْتَ، قُلْتُ: يا رَسولَ الله: أَخْبِرْنِى عن الضَّبِّ، قَالَ: لا آكُلُهُ ولَا أَنْهى عَنْهُ، حُدِّثْتُ أنَّ أُمَّةً مِنْ بَنِى إِسرائيلَ مُسِخَتْ دوابَّ فِى الأَرْضِ، قُلْتُ: فالأَرْنَبُ؟ قال: لا آكُلُهَا ولا أَنْهَى عَنْهَا إنى نُبِّئْتُ أَنَّهَا تَحِيضُ، قُلْتُ: فالثَّعْلَبُ؟، قال: وهَلْ يَأكُلُ الثَّعْلبَ أحدٌ، قُلْتُ: فالضَّبُعُ؟ قَالَ: وهَلْ يأكُلُ الضَّبُعَ أحدٌ، قُلْتُ: فالذِّئْبُ؟، قَالَ: وهل يَأكُلُ الذِّئْبَ أحدٌ فِيهِ خَير".

"From Khuzaymah b. Jaz': I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the vermin of the earth, and he said: Ask about whatever you wish. I said: O Messenger of Allah, tell me about the dabb (spiny-tailed lizard). He said: I do not eat it and I do not forbid it; I was told that a nation of the Children of Israel was transformed into creatures crawling on the earth. I said: And the hare? He said: I do not eat it and I do not forbid it; I was informed that it menstruates. I said: And the fox? He said: Does anyone eat the fox? I said: And the hyena? He said: Does anyone eat the hyena? I said: And the wolf? He said: Does anyone who has any good in him eat the wolf?".
