It is narrated from the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), that she asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about maskh (that is, human forms being transformed into animals as a punishment): would such (a transformed one) have any offspring? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It has never happened that anyone's form was transformed and that he then had any offspring or that his descendants continued."
I (Ibn Hajar) say: This narration is with Imam Muslim through al-Ma'rur from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), in which it is stated that Sayyidah Umm Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her) was the one who asked this question, and that is the correct narration, whereas Layth (a narrator in the chain under discussion) is weak in memory.
