أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ، عَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ وَدِيعَةَ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِضَبٍّ فَقَالَ " إِنَّ أُمَّةً مُسِخَتْ وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ " .
