Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: From the content of this hadith, it is established that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) stated this matter in the beginning, when it had not yet been made known to him that the descendants of those who were transformed (masukh) do not continue. When he was informed of this, he permitted their consumption.
