حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ عَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ
كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَصَابَ النَّاسُ ضِبَابًا فاشَّوَوْهَا فَأَكَلُوهَا فَأَصَبْتُ مِنْهَا ضَبًّا فَشَوَيْتُهُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ فَأَخَذَ جَرِيدَةً فَجَعَلَ يَعُدُّ بِهَا أَصَابِعَهُ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ أُمَّةً مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مُسِخَتْ دَوَابَّ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَإِنِّي أَرَاهَا لَعَلَّهَا هِيَ» فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ شَوَوْهَا وأَكَلُوها فَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ وَلَمْ يَنْهَ

✧ We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and the people caught some lizards, roasted them, and ate them. I caught one of them, roasted it, then brought it to the Prophet ﷺ. He took a palm branch and began counting its toes with it, then said: "A nation of the Children of Israel was transformed into beasts on the earth, and I think it may be that." I said: "The people have roasted them and eaten them." He neither ate nor forbade.
