حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَصَابَ النَّاسُ ضِبَابًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَاشْتَوَوْهَا فَأَكَلُوا مِنْهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَصَبْتُ مِنْهَا ضَبًّا فَشَوَيْتُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَخَذَ جَرِيدَةً فَجَعَلَ يَعُدُّ بِهَا أَصَابِعَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ أُمَّةً مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مُسِخَتْ دَوَابَّ فِي الْأَرْضِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنِّي لَا أَدْرِي لَعَلَّهَا هِيَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدِ اشْتَوَوْهَا فَأَكَلُوهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ وَلَمْ يَنْهَ.

“We were with the Prophet (ﷺ) and the people caught a mastigure. They grilled it and ate from it. Then I caught a mastigure so I grilled it and brought it to the Prophet (ﷺ). He took a palm stalk and started counting his finger with it, and said: ‘A nation from among the Children of Israel was turned into beasts of the earth, and I do not know if this is they.’ I said: ‘The people have grilled them and eaten them.’ He did not eat it and he did not forbid it.”
