Original Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا الْهُذَيْلُ بْنُ بِلَالٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ جَلَسَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ بِمَكَّةَ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ مَعَهُ، فَقَالَ أَبِي: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ مَثَلَ الْمُنَافِقِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَالشَّاةِ بَيْنَ الرَّبِيضَيْنِ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ، إِنْ أَتَتْ هَؤُلَاءِ نَطَحَتْهَا، وَإِنْ أَتَتْ هَؤُلَاءِ نَطَحَتْهَا "، فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عُمَرَ: كَذَبْتَ فَأَثْنَى الْقَوْمُ عَلَى أَبِي خَيْرًا أَوْ مَعْرُوفًا فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ: لَا أَظُنُّ صَاحِبَكُمْ إِلَّا كَمَا تَقُولُونَ، وَلَكِنِّي شَاهِدٌ نَبِيَّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، إِذْ قَالَ: " كَالشَّاةِ بَيْنَ الْغَنَمَيْنِ "، فَقَالَ: هُوَ سَوَاءٌ، فَقَالَ: هَكَذَا سَمِعْتُهُ (١)،

Translation

English translation

Ibn Ubaid, may Allah have mercy on him, says that once Ubaid bin Umair, may Allah be pleased with him, was sitting in a gathering, and Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, was also present there. My father said that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "On the Day of Resurrection, the example of a hypocrite will be like that of a goat between two herds; if it goes to one herd, the goats there will drive it away with their horns, and if it goes to the other herd, the goats there will also drive it away with their horns." Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, said: "You have made a mistake." The people there began to praise my father, so Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, said: "I also consider your companion as you say, but I too was present in that gathering when the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used the word «غنمين» on that occasion." Ubaid said: "Both are the same." Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, said: "I heard the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, say it in this way."
