[Machine] We asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about monkeys and pigs being from the offspring of the Jews. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah has never cursed a people and transformed them into monkeys or pigs, while they still have offspring until they perish. However, Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, became angry with the Jews, so He transformed them and made them similar to them."  

أحمد:٣٧٦٨حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ هُوَ مَوْلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي الْفُرَاتِ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَعْيَنِ الْعَبْدِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ الْجُشَمِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ

سَأَلْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْقِرَدَةِ وَالْخَنَازِيرِ أَمِنْ نَسْلِ الْيَهُودِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ لَمْ يَلْعَنْ قَوْمًا قَطُّ فَمَسَخَهُمْ وَكَانَ لَهُمْ نَسْلٌ حَتَّى يُهْلِكَهُمْ وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ غَضِبَ عَلَى الْيَهُودِ فَمَسَخَهُمْ وَجَعَلَهُمْ مِثْلَهُمْ

[Machine] We asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about monkeys and pigs, are they from the offspring of Jews? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah has never cursed a people and then transformed them into monkeys or pigs; rather, this is a creation that existed. But when Allah was angry with the Jews, He transformed them into monkeys and pigs and made them resemble them."

[Machine] We asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about monkeys and pigs, are they from the descendants of the Jews? So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah, the Almighty, did not curse a people ever. He created them and turned them into monkeys and pigs until they were destroyed. However, this was a creation that existed. But when Allah, the Almighty, became angry with the Jews, He turned them into monkeys and pigs in resemblance."

"إنَّ الله تَعَالى لَمْ يَلعَنْ قَوْمًا قَطُّ فَمَسَخَهُمْ؛ فَكَانَ لهم نَسْلٌ حَتَّى يُهْلِكَهُمْ، ولَكِن هذَا خَلقٌ سَبحانَ؛ فَلَمّا غَضِبَ الله عَلَى اليهودِ مَسخَهُمْ فَجَعَلَهُم مِثْلَهُم".
