It was
narrated that Thabit bin Yazid Al-Ansari said:
“We were with
the
Prophet (ﷺ) and the people caught a mastigure. They grilled it
and
ate from it. Then I caught a mastigure so I grilled it and brought
it
to the Prophet (ﷺ). He took a palm stalk and started counting his
finger with it, and said: ‘A nation from among the Children of
Israel
was turned into beasts of the earth, and I do not know if this
is
they.’ I said: ‘The people have grilled them and eaten them.’
He did
not eat it and he did not forbid it.”
