It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that a monitor lizard was brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Turn it over." The people turned it over. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Now turn it onto its belly." So the people did so. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "A tribe from the Children of Israel was transformed, and if it remained, it would be like this." He repeated this sentence three times.
