Sunan An Nasai 4325

أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ الْبَلْخِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ سَلَّامُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَنَزَلْنَا مَنْزِلًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَصَابَ النَّاسُ ضِبَابًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَخَذْتُ ضَبًّا فَشَوَيْتُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ،‏‏‏‏ فَأَخَذَ عُودًا يَعُدُّ بِهِ أَصَابِعَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ أُمَّةً مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ،‏‏‏‏ مُسِخَتْ دَوَابَّ فِي الْأَرْضِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنِّي لَا أَدْرِي أَيُّ الدَّوَابِّ هِيَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ،‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ أَكَلُوا مِنْهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَمَا أَمَرَ بِأَكْلِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا نَهَى.

It was narrated that Thabit bin Yazid Al-Ansari said: We were with the Prophet on a journey. We stopped to camp and the people caught some mastigures. I took a mastigure and grilled it, and brought it to the Prophet. He took a palm stalk, and started counting his fingers with it, and said: 'A nation from among the children of Israel was turned into beasts of the Earth, and I do not know what kind of animals they were, I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, the people have eaten some of them.' He did not tell them to eat it, and he did not forbid them from eating it.
