Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا دَاوُدُ عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا بِأَرْضٍ مُضِبَّةٍ فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا قَالَ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ أُمَّةً مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مُسِخَتْ دَوَابَّ فَلَا أَدْرِي أَيُّ الدَّوَابِّ هِيَ قَالَ فَلَمْ يَأْمُرْ وَلَمْ يَنْهَ.
English Translation
Yazid narrated to us, Dawud informed us, from Abu Nadrah, from Abu Sa'id, who said: A man came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and said, "O Messenger of Allah, we are in a land infested with lizards - what do you command us?" He said, "It has reached me that a nation among the Children of Israel was transformed into animals, and I do not know which animals they are." He said: So he neither commanded nor forbade.
