From the Musnad of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri
Musnad Abi Ya'la 1184 — a man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : « يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا بِأَرْضٍ مَضَبَّةٍ فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ أُمَّةً مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مُسِخَتْ دَوَابًّا ، فَلَا أَدْرِي فِي أَيِّ الدَّوَابِّ ، فَلَمْ يَأْمُرْنَا وَلَمْ يَنْهَ » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), we live in a land where lizards (dabb) abound, so what do you command us concerning them?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It has reached me that a nation of the Children of Israel was transformed into animals, and I do not know into which animals they were transformed." So he (peace and blessings be upon him) neither commanded us (to eat it) nor forbade us from it.
