Hunting fish and locusts
It was
narrated from Jabir and Anas bin Malik that whenever the
Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) supplicated against the locusts, he said: “O
Allah,
destroy their large ones and kill their small ones, spoil their
eggs
and root them out. Take their mouths away from our livelihood and
provision, for You are the One Who hears the prayers.” A man said:
“O
Messenger of Allah, are you praying against one of the troops of
Allah, that they may be rooted out?” He said: “Locusts were
sneezed
out by the fish in the sea.”
It was
narrated that Abu Hurairah said: “We went out with the Prophet
(ﷺ) for Hajj or ‘Umrah, and we encountered a swarm of locusts or
a
type of locust. We started hitting them with out whips and sandals.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘Eat them for they are the game of the
sea.’”

you, you destroy one of the nations that glorify Allah?’”

tooth or put out an eye.’” He did it again, and he (‘Abdullah)
said:
“I tell you that the Prophet (ﷺ) forbade that and then you
go and do
it again? I will never speak to you again.”

house
lizard that blew on it. So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)

finger with it, and said: ‘A nation from among the Children of
Israel
was turned into beasts of the earth, and I do not know if this
is
they.’ I said: ‘The people have grilled them and eaten them.’
He did
not eat it and he did not forbid it.”
