Hadith #585
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ الْفَأْرَةُ مَمْسُوخَةٌ بِآيَةِ أَنَّهُ يُقَرَّبُ لَهَا لَبَنُ اللِّقَاحِ فَلَا تَذُوقُهُ وَيُقَرَّبُ لَهَا ل
َبَنُ الْغَنَمِ فَتَشْرَبُهُ أَوْ قَالَ فَتَأْكُلُهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ كَعْبٌ أَشَيْءٌ سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ أَفَنَزَلَتْ التَّوْرَاةُ عَلَيَّ

English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) — via 'Abd al-Razzaq, from Hisham [ibn Hassan], from Muhammad [ibn Sirin] — that Abu Hurayra said: 'The mouse is a [divinely] transformed creature [maskh] — the proof of it is that she-camel milk is brought close to it and it won't taste it, yet sheep's milk is brought close to it and it drinks it' — or he said: 'eats it.' Ka'b [al-Ahbar] said to him: 'Is this something you heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' He said: 'Was the Torah then revealed to me?!' [i.e., affirming it came from the Prophet ﷺ alone, not from Jewish scripture]
