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 fingers 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."
