[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, we are living in a barren land, what do you command us to do?" He replied, "I have been informed that a nation from the children of Israel were transformed into animals, but I do not know which animals they were." He did not give any command or prohibition.  

أحمد:١١٦٣٤حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا دَاوُدُ عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا بِأَرْضٍ مُضِبَّةٍ فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا؟ قَالَ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ أُمَّةً مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مُسِخَتْ دَوَابَّ فَلَا أَدْرِي أَيُّ الدَّوَابِّ هِيَ؟ قَالَ فَلَمْ يَأْمُرْ وَلَمْ يَنْهَ

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, we are on a barren land, so what should we do?" He (the Prophet) said, "It has reached me that a nation from the Children of Israel was transformed into animals. I do not know which animals they were, so I cannot command or forbid anything."
