حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ،، ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: فُقِدَ سِبْطٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَذَكَرَ الْفَأْرَةَ، فَقَالَ: " أَلَا تَرَى أَنَّكَ إِذَا (١) أَدْنَيْتَ مِنْهَا لَبَنَ الْإِبِلِ لَمْ تَقْرَبْهُ، وَإِنْ قَرَّبْتَ إِلَيْهَا لَبَنَ الْغَنَمِ شَرِبَتْهُ؟ " فَقَالَ: أَكَذَا سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قَالَ: أَفَأَقْرَأُ التَّوْرَاةَ؟ (٢)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that a group from the Children of Israel went missing and no one could find out where they went. I think that they became mice. Do you not observe that if camel’s milk is placed before a mouse, it does not drink it, but if goat’s milk is placed before it, it drinks it? Upon this, Ka’b Ahbar (may Allah have mercy on him), who was a newly converted Jewish scholar, said: “Did you hear this hadith directly from the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)?” I replied, “Do I read the Torah?”
