[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , a man came to him carrying a fog that he had captured. He started looking at a lizard from it and then said, "Indeed, a nation has been transformed, and I do not know if this is one of them."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَاهُ بِضِبَابٍ قَدِ احْتَرَشَهَا فَجَعَلَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى ضَبٍّ مِنْهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ أُمَّةً مُسِخَتْ فَلَا أَدْرِي لَعَلَّ هَذَا مِنْهَا  

"A man brought a mastigure to the Messenger of Allah and he started looking at it, and turning it over. He said: 'A nation was transformed, it is not known what they did, and I do not know if this is one of them." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4321)   

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِضِبَابٍ قَدِ احْتَرَشَهَا قَالَ فَجَعَلَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ وَيُقَلِّبُهُ وَقَالَ إِنَّ أُمَّةً مُسِخَتْ فَلَا يُدْرَى مَا فَعَلَتْ وَإِنِّي لَا أَدْرِي لَعَلَّ هَذَا مِنْهَا  

[Machine] A man from the Banu Fazara came to the Prophet ﷺ with a gazelle. He then began to turn it around in front of him and said, "Indeed, a nation has been deformed." He continued, "And most of my knowledge is that he said, 'I don't know, perhaps this is from it.'" Shu'bah said, "Husayn reported from Zayd ibn Wahb from Hudhayfah that he mentioned something similar to this." The Prophet did not order for it nor did he forbid it from anyone.  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي فَزَارَةَ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بِضِبَابٍ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ يُقَلِّبُ ضَبًّا مِنْهَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أُمَّةً مُسِخَتْ قَالَ وَأَكْثَرُ عِلْمِي أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَا أَدْرِي لَعَلَّ هَذَا مِنْهَا قَالَ شُعْبَةُ وَقَالَ حُصَيْنٌ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ فَذَكَرَ شَيْئًا نَحْوًا مِنْ هَذَا قَالَ فَلَمْ يَأْمُرْ به وَلَمْ يَنْهَ أَحَدًا عَنْهُ  

[Machine] "We encountered fog while we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in some of his battles. The people started to cook and roast some animals. I took a lizard and roasted it, then I brought it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and placed it in front of him. He took a stick and began flipping its fingers with it, or he counted its fingers. Then he said, 'Indeed, a nation from the Children of Israel was transformed into animals on Earth, and I don't know which animals they were.' I said, 'Indeed, the people have cooked and roasted them.' He did not eat from it and did not forbid them from it."  

اصْطَدْنَا ضِبَابًا وَنَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي بَعْضِ مَغَازِيهِ قَالَ فَطَبَخَ النَّاسُ وَشَوَوْا قَالَ فَأَخَذْتُ ضَبًّا فَشَوَيْتُهُ فَأَتَيْتُ بِهِ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَوَضَعَهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَأَخَذَ عُودًا فَجَعَلَ يُقَلِّبُ بِهِ أَصَابِعَهُ أَوْ يَعُدُّهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ أُمَّةً مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مُسِخَتْ دَوَابَّ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَإِنِّي لَا أَدْرِي أَيَّ الدَّوَابِّ هِيَ قَالَ قُلْتُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ شَوَوْا قَالَ فَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ مِنْهُ وَلَمْ يَنْهَهُمْ عَنْهُ  

[Machine] He said, "Someone brought a hyena to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he said, 'This is a nation that has been transformed.' By Allah, He knows the best." A man named Affan said, "Allah knows best."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بِضَبٍّ فَقَالَ أُمَّةٌ مُسِخَتْ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ عَفَّانُ فَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ
