Hadith 17757

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ابْنِ حَسَنَةَ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ ، فَنَزَلْنَا أَرْضًا كَثِيرَةَ الضِّبَابِ ، قَالَ : فَأَصَبْنَا مِنْهَا وَذَبَحْنَا ، قَالَ : فَبَيْنَا الْقُدُورُ تَغْلِي بِهَا ، إِذْ خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنَّ أُمَّةً مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فُقِدَتْ ، وَإِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ تَكُونَ هِيَ ، فَأَكْفِئُوهَا " فَأَكْفَأْنَاهَا.
It is narrated from Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Hasnah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were on a journey with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). We camped in an area where there was an abundance of lizards. We caught them and slaughtered them, and while they were still cooking in the pots, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us and said: "A group from the Children of Israel was lost; I fear that these may be the same." Therefore, you should overturn the pots. So the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) overturned them.
