English Translation

It was narrated from 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) — [continuation] — it was mentioned in his presence that monkeys — Mis'ar said: I think he said: and pigs — were among those who were transformed [by divine punishment as a form of curse]. the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Indeed Allah (عز وجل) has not given the transformed ones any offspring or descendants. Monkeys — I think he said: and pigs — existed before that [transformation as a separate species].' — [Second chain] via 'Abd al-Razzaq, from al-Thawri, from 'Alqama ibn Marthad — similar account with its chain; and he did not express doubt about [the mention of] pigs.
