حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " إِنَّ رَجُلًا حَمَلَ مَعَهُ خَمْرًا فِي سَفِينَةٍ يَبِيعُهُ، وَمَعَهُ قِرْدٌ "، قَالَ: " فَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا بَاعَ الْخَمْرَ، شَابَهُ بِالْمَاءِ ثُمَّ بَاعَهُ "، قَالَ: " فَأَخَذَ الْقِرْدُ الْكِيسَ، فَصَعِدَ بِهِ فَوْقَ الدَّقَلِ "، قَالَ: " فَجَعَلَ يَطْرَحُ دِينَارًا فِي الْبَحْرِ وَدِينَارًا فِي السَّفِينَةِ، حَتَّى قَسَمَهُ " (١)، ،

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: A man, in connection with trade, boarded a boat carrying wine. There was also a monkey with him. Whenever the man sold wine, he would first mix water into it and then sell it. One day, the monkey grabbed his money pouch and climbed up a tree. The monkey began throwing one dinar into the sea and another into his master's boat, until he had divided them equally. (From here the saying became famous: the milk was separated from the water, and the water from the milk.)
