✧ Zayd b. Thabit
"عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ فِى غَزْوَةِ (تَبُوكَ) خيبر، فَأَصَابَنَا () ضِبَابًا، فَاشْتَوَى النَّاسُ مِنْهَا، وَاشْتَوَيْتُ، ثُمَّ أتَيْتُ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ فَوَضَعْتهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، فَأَخَذَ عُودًا فَجَعَلَ يَعُدُّ أَصَابِعَهُ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ أُمَّةً مِنَ الأُمَمِ مُسِخَتْ دَوَابَّ، فَلَا أَدْرِى أَىّ أُمَّةٍ هِىَ؟ فَلَمْ يَأَكُلْ مِنْهَا. فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ أَكَلُوا مِنْهَا. فَلمْ يَأمُرْهُمْ وَلَمْ يَنْهَهُمْ".

"From Zayd b. Thābit, who said: We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the expedition of (Tabūk) Khaybar, and we came upon () dabb lizards, and the people grilled some of them, and I grilled one too. Then I came to the Prophet ﷺ and placed it before him. He took a stick and began to count its fingers, and said: 'A nation of the nations was transformed into creeping animals, and I do not know which nation it is.' So he did not eat from it. I said to him: 'The people have eaten from it.' So he neither commanded them nor forbade them."
