حَدَّثَنَا
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنِي
الْأَشْعَثُ ، عَنْ
مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ
أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ , أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ :
" أُمَّةٌ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ فُقِدَتْ ، فَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ : الْفَأْرُ هِيَ أَمْ لَا ! أَلَا تَرَى أَنَّهَا إِذَا وُضِعَ لَهَا أَلْبَانُ الْإِبِلِ ، لَمْ تَطْعَمْهُ ؟ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A group from the Children of Israel went missing; no one could find out where they went. I think that they became mice. Do you not observe that if camel's milk is placed before them, they do not drink it?
