Hadith #342
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي الْفُرَاتِ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَعْيَنِ الْعَبْدِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ الْجُشَمِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُ
ودٍ قَالَ سَأَلْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الْقِرَدَةِ وَالْخَنَازِيرِ أَمِنْ نَسْلِ الْيَهُودِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَلْعَنْ قَوْمًا قَطُّ فَمَسَخَهُمْ وَكَانَ لَهُمْ نَسْلٌ حَتَّى يُهْلِكَهُمْ وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ غَضِبَ عَلَى الْيَهُودِ فَمَسَخَهُمْ وَجَعَلَهُمْ مِثْلَهُمْ

English Translation
It was narrated from Ibn Mas'ud (رضي الله عنه) — via Abu Sa'id, from Dawud ibn Abi al-Furat, from Muhammad ibn Zayd, from Abi al-A'yan al-'Abdi, from Abi al-Ahwas al-Jushami — that Ibn Mas'ud said: 'We asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about apes and pigs — are they from the descendants of the Jews? the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Indeed Allah has never cursed a people, transformed them, and left them with offspring when He destroyed them. Rather, Allah (عز وجل) grew angry with the Jews, transformed them, and made them resemble [an existing creation].'
