عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ فُقِدَتْ أُمَّةٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لاَ يُدْرَى مَا فَعَلَتْ، وَإِنِّي لاَ أُرَاهَا إِلاَّ الْفَارَ إِذَا وُضِعَ لَهَا أَلْبَانُ الإِبِلِ لَمْ تَشْرَبْ، وَإِذَا وُضِعَ لَهَا أَلْبَانُ الشَّاءِ شَرِبَتْ . فَحَدَّثْتُ كَعْبًا فَقَالَ أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُهُ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ. قَالَ لِي مِرَارًا. فَقُلْتُ أَفَأَقْرَأُ التَّوْرَاةَ
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A group of Israelites were lost. Nobody knows what they did. But I do not seethem except that they were cursed and changed into rats, for if you put the milk of a she-camel in frontof 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 toKa`b who asked me, "Did you hear it from the Prophet (ﷺ) ?" I said, "Yes." Ka`b asked me the samequestion several times.; I said to Ka`b. "Do I read the Torah? (i.e. I tell you this from the Prophet.)"
