Arabic (Original)
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 اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِضِبَابٍ قَدْ احْتَرَشَهَا قَالَ فَجَعَلَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ وَيُقَلِّبُهُ وَقَالَ إِنَّ أُمَّةً مُسِخَتْ فَلَا يُدْرَى مَا فَعَلَتْ وَإِنِّي لَا أَدْرِي لَعَلَّ هَذَا مِنْهَا.
English Translation
Bahz told us, Shu'bah told us, he said: Adi ibn Thabit informed me, he said: I heard Zayd ibn Wahb narrating from Thabit ibn Wadi'ah, who said: A man came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, with spiny-tailed lizards he had caught. He said: He began looking at it and turning it over, and said, "A nation was transformed, and it is not known what became of it, and I do not know — perhaps this is one of them."
