Mishkat al-Masabih #3967
Game and Animals Which May Be Slaughtered
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
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
Salman said the Prophet was asked about locusts and replied, "They are the most numerous of God’s hosts. I neither eat them nor declare them unlawful."
Abu Dawud transmitted it, but Muhyi as-Sunna said it is weak.
