Abu Hurairah reported the Prophet ﷺ as saying “Locusts are counted along with what is caught in the sea (i.e., the game of the sea).”  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الْجَرَادُ مِنْ صَيْدِ الْبَحْرِ  

Abu Hurairah said, We found a swarm of Locusts. A man who was wearing ihram began to strike it with his whip. He was told that his action was not valid. The fact was mentioned to the Prophet ﷺ; He said “That is counted along with the game of the sea.” I heard Abu Dawud say “The narrator Abu Al Muhzim is weak. Both these traditions are based on misunderstanding.  

أَصَبْنَا صِرْمًا مِنْ جَرَادٍ فَكَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنَّا يَضْرِبُهُ بِسَوْطِهِ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّ هَذَا لاَ يَصْلُحُ فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا هُوَ مِنْ صَيْدِ الْبَحْرِ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا دَاوُدَ يَقُولُ أَبُو الْمُهَزِّمِ ضَعِيفٌ وَالْحَدِيثَانِ جَمِيعًا وَهَمٌ  

Ka’ab said “Locusts are counted along with the game of the sea.”  

الْجَرَادُ مِنْ صَيْدِ الْبَحْرِ
