Hadith 16:133

Abu Bakr narrated to us, he said: Muhammad ibn Fudayl narrated to us, from Husayn, from Zayd ibn Wahb, from Thabit ibn Yazid al-Ansari, who said: We were with the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and the people found some dabb (lizards), so they roasted them and ate from them. I also obtained a dabb, roasted it, and then brought it to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. He took a palm branch and began counting his fingers with it, then said: "Indeed, a nation from the Children of Israel was transformed into beasts upon the earth, and I do not know, perhaps this is them." I said: "The people have already roasted them and eaten them." So he did not eat, but he did not forbid it.

حدثنا أبو بكر قال حدثنا محمد بن فضيل عن حصين عن زيد بن وهب عن ثابت بن يزيد الأنصاري قال كنا مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فأصاب الناس ضبابا فاشتووها فأكلوا منها فأصبت منها ضبا فشويته ثم أتيت به النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فأخذ جريدة فجعل يعد بها أصابعه فقال إن أمة من بني إسرائيل مسخت دواب في الأرض وإني لا أدري لعلها هي فقلت إن الناس قد اشتووها فأكلوها فلم يأكل ولم ينه
