Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْمُهَزِّمِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي حَجٍّ أَوْ عُمْرَةٍ فَاسْتَقْبَلَتْنَا رِجْلٌ مِنْ جَرَادٍ فَجَعَلْنَا نَضْرِبُهُنَّ بِسِيَاطِنَا وَعِصِيِّنَا نَقْتُلُهُنَّ فَسُقِطَ فِي أَيْدِينَا فَقُلْنَا مَا صَنَعْنَا وَنَحْنُ مُحْرِمُونَ فَسَأَلْنَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ صَيْدُ الْبَحْرِ.
English Translation
'Affan narrated to us, he said: Hammad ibn Salamah narrated to us, he said: Abu al-Muhazzim informed us, from Abu Hurayrah who said: We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) on a Hajj or 'Umrah when we encountered a swarm of locusts. We began striking them with our whips and sticks, killing them. Then we felt uneasy and said: "What have we done while we are in a state of ihram?" So we asked the Prophet (peace be upon him), and he said: "There is no harm; it is game of the sea."
