حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ ثنا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحَرِيشِ حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي مَيْمُونَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ
أَتَى أَعْرَابِيٌّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا تَقُولُ فِي الضبِ؟ فَقَالَ «مُسِخَتْ أُمَّةٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لَا أَدْرِي أَيَّ الدَّوَابِّ مُسِخَتْ وَلَا آمُرُ بِهِ وَلَا أَنْهَى عَنْهُ»

✧ A Bedouin came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: “O Messenger of Allah, what do you say about the dabb (a lizard)?” He replied: “A nation from the Children of Israel was transformed, and I do not know which of the creatures it was transformed into. I neither command it, nor forbid it.”
