The Hyena: What is the evidence that excludes it from the hadith: (Indeed, Allah has forbidden every predator with fangs)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : .... ؟

The Shaykh : This is a question asking what excludes the hyena from the hadith:
God's messenger forbade every carnivorous beast which had a fang أنه صلى الله عليه وسلم حرم كل ذي ناب من السباع
Mishkat al-Masabih 4089

The answer is to say: The Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) excludes it by that, so it is an exception, an exception from the generality of
prohibited every predator that possesses canine teeth حرم كل ذي ناب من السباع
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1479Hasan (Darussalam)
. And some scholars said: It did not enter into the hadith at all, because although it is a predator, it does not have fangs with which to prey, as the custom is that the hyena does not prey except in cases of dire necessity.
