“A man from among Ahlus-Suffah called the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he had finished the prayer, saying: ‘O Messenger of Allah! Our land is a land infested with mastigures. What do you think of (eating) mastigures?’ He said: ‘I have heard that a nation was transformed.’ He did not tell us to eat them, and he did not forbid that.”
نَادَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الصُّفَّةِ حِينَ انْصَرَفَ مِنَ الصَّلاَةِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَرْضَنَا أَرْضٌ مَضَبَّةٌ فَمَا تَرَى فِي الضِّبَابِ قَالَ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّهُ أُمَّةٌ مُسِخَتْ فَلَمْ يَأْمُرْ بِهِ وَلَمْ يَنْهَ عَنْهُ
