[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
" عَنْ ثَابِت بْنِ وَدِيعَةَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِى فَزَارَةَ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بِضِبَابٍ قَدِ احْتَرَشَهَا، (* *) فَقَالَ: إِنَّ أُمَّةً مُسِخَتْ فَلاَ أَدْرِى لَعَلَّ هَذَا مِنْهُمْ".
