حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ وَرَوْحٌ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي الْفُرَاتِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَعْيَنِ الْعَبْدِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ الْجُشَمِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ سَأَلْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الْقِرَدَةِ وَالْخَنَازِيرِ أَهِيَ مِنْ نَسْلِ الْيَهُودِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَمْ يَلْعَنْ قَوْمًا قَطُّ قَالَ رَوْحٌ فَمَسَخَهُمْ فَيَكُونَ لَهُمْ نَسْلٌ حَتَّى يُهْلِكَهُمْ وَلَكِنَّ هَذَا خَلْقٌ كَانَ فَلَمَّا غَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَى الْيَهُودِ مَسَخَهُمْ فَجَعَلَهُمْ مِثْلَهُمْ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 3997
It was narrated that Ibn Mas'ood said: We asked the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) about monkeys and pigs: were they off- spring of the Jews? The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, never cursed a people - Rawh said: and transformed them - then they had offspring until He destroyed them. Rather these (i.e., monkeys and pigs) are a creation that existed before. When Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, got angry with the Jews, He transformed them and made them like them."
