عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! أَنَتَحَدِّثُ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ قَالَ: ((نَعَمْ، تَحَدَّثُوا عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلَا حَرَجَ، فَإِنَّكُمْ لَا تُحَدِّثُونَ عَنْهُمْ بِشَيْءٍ إِلَّا وَقَدْ كَانَ فِيهِمْ أَعْجَبُ مِنْهُ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We said, "O Messenger of Allah! Can we narrate from the Children of Israel?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, you may narrate from the Children of Israel, there is no harm in it, for indeed whatever you narrate from them, among them are found matters even more astonishing than that."
