حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَوْسِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَسْمَعُ الْحِكْمَةَ، ثُمَّ لَا يُخْبِرُ عَنْ صَاحِبِهِ إِلَّا بِشَرِّ مَا يَسْمَعُ (٤) ، كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ أَتَى رَاعِيَ غَنَمٍ، فَقَالَ: أَجْزِرْنِي شَاةً مِنْ غَنَمِكَ، فَقَالَ: اخْتَرْ، فَأَخَذَ بِأُذُنِ كَلْبِ الْغَنَمِ " (٥)، ،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: The example of a person who participates in a gathering and hears words of wisdom there, but conveys only the wrong things from it to his companion, is like the person who comes to a shepherd and says, "O shepherd! Slaughter a goat for me from your flock." The shepherd replies, "Go and bring the ear of the best one among them," and he goes and brings the ear of the flock's dog.
