Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ud
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5314 — the people asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي الْفُرَاتِ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَعْيَنِ الْعَبْدِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ الْجُشَمِيِّ ، أَنَّ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ ، حَدَّثَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ سَأَلُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَنِ الْقِرَدَةِ وَالْخَنَازِيرِ : أَمِنْ نَسْلِ الْيَهُودِ هِيَ ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ : إِنَّ اللهَ لَمْ يَلْعَنْ قَوْمًا فَمَسَخَهُمْ فَكَانَ لَهُمْ نَسْلٌ حَتَّى يُهْلِكَهُمْ ، وَلَكِنَّ هَذَا خَلْقٌ كَانَ ، فَلَمَّا غَضِبَ اللهُ عَلَى الْيَهُودِ مَسَخَهُمْ ، فَكَانُوا أَمْثَالَهُمْ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the people asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about monkeys and pigs: "Are they from the offspring of the (transformed) Jews?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, whenever Allah Almighty cursed a people and transformed them (changed their forms), their lineage did not continue; rather He destroys them (soon). These (monkeys and pigs) were a distinct creation that already existed; then, when Allah Almighty became angry with the Jews, He transformed them, and they became like those (already existing animals)."
