Musnad Ahmad Hadith 4872

Abu Ja'far Muhammad bin Ali, may Allah have mercy on him, says that once Ubaid bin Umair, may Allah be pleased with him, was speaking and Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, was also present there. Ubaid bin Umair said that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The example of a hypocrite is like that of a goat among flocks; if it goes to one flock, the goats there drive it away with their horns, and if it goes to another flock, the goats there also drive it away with their horns." Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used the word «غنمين» instead of «ربيضين» on this occasion. Upon this, Ubaid bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said: If I had not heard this hadith from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, I would not have contradicted your statement.
