اُردوEn
عَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ سَأَلْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ عَنِ الضَّبُعِ فَكَرِهَهَا فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ قَوْمَكَ يَأْكُلُونَهُ قَالَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ عِنْدَهُ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ الْمُتَقَدِّمَ
(Second chain) He says: I asked Sa'id bin al-Musayyib about the badger, and he considered it disliked. I said: Your people eat it. He said: They do not have knowledge. A man sitting with them said: I heard from Sayyiduna Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him), then narrated a hadith similar to the one above.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The badger is a lawful (halal) animal; it is well-known for digging up graves, because it is very fond of human flesh. Its astonishing characteristic is that it remains male for one year and female for another year; in the male state it becomes pregnant, and in the female state it gives birth.
