Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The lizard was a nation that was transformed into the form of creatures of the earth."
Al-Bazzar recorded it, and Ahmad recorded something similar; the basis of this narration is the narration reported by Thabit bin Wadi'ah, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
