The questioner : What is the meaning of this hadith?
The Shaykh : Our Lord (Mighty and Majestic), when He transformed the Jews into monkeys and pigs, these remained transformed for three days, then they were destroyed. Allah did not make any offspring for these transformed ones. So, what some people think or say, that a certain animal, and especially the monkey for example, is originally a human being; this is an error in speech. The monkey existed before Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) transformed the Jews into monkeys. He did not transform them into monkeys except to make them like the monkeys that used to help them.
The point is that the hadith means that any people whom Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) transforms into some of the animals; Allah does not make any offspring for these animals, rather He destroys them and annihilates them.
