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 .
´It was narrated that Thabit bin Yazid Al-Ansari said:` “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.”
Hadith 3240
´It was narrated that Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri said:` “A man from among Ahlus-Suffah called the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) when he had finished the prayer, saying: ‘O Messenger of Allah! Our land is a land infested with mastigures. What do you think of (eating) mastigures?’ He said: ‘I have heard that a nation was transformed.’ He did not tell us to eat them, and he did not forbid that.”
Hadith 3241
´It was narrated from Khalid bin Walid that a grilled mastigure was brought to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and placed near him. He stretched out his hand to eat (some of it), then those who were present said:` “O Messenger of Allah, it is the flesh of a mastigure.” He took his hand away, and Khalid said to him: “O Messenger of Allah, is a mastigure unlawful?” He said: “No, but it is not found in my land and I find it distasteful.” He said: “Then Khalid bent over the mastigure and ate some of it, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was looking at him.”
Hadith 3242
