Hadith of Thabit ibn Yazid ibn Wada'ah (may Allah be pleased with him)

حَدِيثُ ثَابِتِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ابْنِ وَدَاعَةَ (١)، ١٧٩٢٨ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ ثَابِتِ ابْنِ وَدِيعَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَاهُ بِضِبَابٍ قَدِ احْتَرَشَهَا، فَجَعَلَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى ضَبٍّ مِنْهَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " إِنَّ أُمَّةً مُسِخَتْ فَلَا أَدْرِي لَعَلَّ هَذَا مِنْهَا " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that a lizard was hunted and brought to the service of the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) turned the lizard over and examined it, and said: "The forms of some communities were transformed; I do not know, perhaps this is one of them."

حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَدِيُّ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ زَيْدَ بْنَ وَهْبٍ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ ثَابِتِ ابْنِ وَدِيعَةَ، قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِضِبَابٍ قَدِ احْتَرَشَهَا، قَالَ: فَجَعَلَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ وَيُقَلِّبُهُ، وَقَالَ: " إِنَّ أُمَّةً مُسِخَتْ فَلَا يُدْرَى مَا فَعَلَتْ، وَإِنِّي لَا أَدْرِي لَعَلَّ هَذَا مِنْهَا " (١)،

It is narrated from Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man brought several hunted lizards to the service of the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) turned one of the lizards over and said: "The forms of some communities were transformed; I do not know, perhaps this is one of them."

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ ثَابِتِ ابْنِ وَدِيعَةَ: أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي فَزَارَةَ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِضِبَابٍ، قَالَ: فَجَعَلَ يُقَلِّبُ ضَبًّا مِنْهَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: " إِنَّ أُمَّةً مُسِخَتْ " قَالَ: وَأَكْثَرُ عِلْمِي أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " مَا أَدْرِي لَعَلَّ هَذَا مِنْهَا " قَالَ شُعْبَةُ: وَقَالَ حُصَيْنٌ: عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ، قَالَ: فَذَكَرَ شَيْئًا نَحْوًا مِنْ هَذَا، قَالَ: " فَلَمْ يَأْمُرْ به (٢) ، وَلَمْ يَنْهَ أَحَدًا عَنْهُ " (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man brought several hunted lizards to the service of the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) turned one of the lizards over and looked at it, and said: "The forms of some communities were transformed; I do not know, perhaps this is one of them." The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain.

حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، عَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ابْنِ وَدَاعَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، قَالَ: اصْطَدْنَا ضِبَابًا وَنَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَعْضِ مَغَازِيهِ، قَالَ: فَطَبَخَ النَّاسُ وَشَوَوْا، قَالَ: فَأَخَذْتُ ضَبًّا فَشَوَيْتُهُ، فَأَتَيْتُ بِهِ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَوَضَعَهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، فَأَخَذَ عُودًا، فَجَعَلَ يُقَلِّبُ بِهِ أَصَابِعَهُ، أَوْ يَعُدُّهَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " إِنَّ أُمَّةً مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مُسِخَتْ دَوَابَّ فِي الْأَرْضِ، وَإِنِّي لَا أَدْرِي أَيَّ الدَّوَابِّ هِيَ " قَالَ: قُلْتُ: إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ شَوَوْا، قَالَ: فَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ مِنْهُ، وَلَمْ يَنْهَهُمْ عَنْهُ (١)، ،

It is narrated from Thabit bin Yazid (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were with the Prophet (ﷺ) on a military expedition. We hunted a lizard, and people began to cook and roast it. I also took a lizard, roasted it, and brought it to the Prophet (ﷺ) and placed it before him. The Prophet (ﷺ) turned it over with a stick and said, "A form of one of the animals among the Children of Israel was transformed; I do not know which animal it was." I submitted, "People are roasting and eating it." The Prophet (ﷺ) neither ate it himself nor forbade others from eating it.

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: عَفَّانُ، فِي حَدِيثِهِ، قَالَ الْحَكَمُ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ، عَنْ ثَابِتِ ابْنِ وَداعَةَ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ (١) : أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِضَبٍّ، فَقَالَ: " أُمَّةٌ مُسِخَتْ، وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ " قَالَ عَفَّانُ: " فَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ (٢) " (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man brought several hunted lizards to the service of the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) said that the forms of a certain nation were transformed; I do not know, perhaps this is the same.
