Hadith 11373

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أُتِيَ بِضَبٍّ ، فَقَلَّبَهُ بِعُودٍ كَانَ فِي يَدِهِ ظَهْرَهُ لِبَطْنِهِ ، فَقَالَ : " تَاهَ سِبْطٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَإِنْ يَكُنْ فَهُوَ هَذَا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that a monitor lizard was brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had a stick in his blessed hand; he turned it over with that stick and said: "A tribe from the Children of Israel was transformed; if any of them remained, it would be this."
