Beginning of Creation - كتاب بدء الخلق

حدثنا موسى بن إسماعيل، حدثنا وهيب، عن خالد، عن محمد، عن أبي هريرة رضى الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال ‏"‏ فقدت أمة من بني إسرائيل لا يدرى ما فعلت، وإني لا أراها إلا الفار إذا وضع لها ألبان الإبل لم تشرب، وإذا وضع لها ألبان الشاء شربت ‏"‏‏.‏ فحدثت كعبا فقال أنت سمعت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يقوله قلت نعم‏.‏ قال لي مرارا‏.‏ فقلت أفأقرأ التوراة

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "A group of Israelites were lost. Nobody knows what they did. But I do not see them except that they were cursed and changed into rats, for if you put the milk of a she-camel in front of a rat, it will not drink it, but if the milk of a sheep is put in front of it, it will drink it." I told this to Ka`b who asked me, "Did you hear it from the Prophet ?" I said, "Yes." Ka`b asked me the same question several times.; I said to Ka`b. "Do I read the Torah? (i.e. I tell you this from the Prophet.)"
