حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى الْعَنَزِىُّ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الرُّزِّىُّ جَمِيعًا عَنِ الثَّقَفِىِّ - وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ الْمُثَنَّى - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « فُقِدَتْ أُمَّةٌ مِنْ بَنِى إِسْرَائِيلَ لاَ يُدْرَى مَا فَعَلَتْ وَلاَ أُرَاهَا إِلاَّ الْفَأْرَ أَلاَ تَرَوْنَهَا إِذَا وُضِعَ لَهَا أَلْبَانُ الإِبِلِ لَمْ تَشْرَبْهُ وَإِذَا وُضِعَ لَهَا أَلْبَانُ الشَّاءِ شَرِبَتْهُ ». قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَحَدَّثْتُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ كَعْبًا فَقَالَ آنْتَ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قُلْتُ نَعَمْ. قَالَ ذَلِكَ مِرَارًا. قُلْتُ أَأَقْرَأُ التَّوْرَاةَ قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ فِى رِوَايَتِهِ « لاَ نَدْرِى مَا فَعَلَتْ ».

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'A tribe of the Children of Israel disappeared and it was not known what happened to them, but I think that they became mice. Have you not seen that if camel milk is put down for them they do not drink it, but if sheep milk is put down for them they drink it?"' Abu Hurairah said: "I narrated this Hadith to Ka'b and he said: 'Did you hear that from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w)?' I said: 'Yes.' He said that several times. I said: 'Shall I read the Torah?'" Ishaq said in his report: "We do not know what happened to them."
