وَعَن سلمَان قَالَ: سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الْجَرَادِ فَقَالَ: «أَكْثَرُ جُنُودِ اللَّهِ لَا آكُلُهُ وَلَا أُحَرِّمُهُ» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدُ وَقَالَ محيي السّنة: ضَعِيف
Translation
Salman reported: The Prophet ﷺ was asked about locusts and said: ‘They are among the greatest of Allah’s armies. I do not eat them, nor do I declare them forbidden.’ Abu Dawud transmitted it, and Muhyi al-Sunna said: Weak.
