حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فِيمَا يَحْسِبُ حَمَّادٌ - " أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ يَبِيعُ الْخَمْرَ فِي سَفِينَةٍ، وَمَعَهُ فِي السَّفِينَةِ قِرْدٌ، فَكَانَ يَشُوبُ الْخَمْرَ بِالْمَاءِ "، قَالَ: " فَأَخَذَ الْقِرْدُ الْكِيسَ، ثُمَّ صَعِدَ بِهِ فَوْقَ الذَّرْوِ (١) ، وَفَتَحَ الْكِيسَ، فَجَعَلَ يَأْخُذُ دِينَارًا فَيُلْقِهِ فِي السَّفِينَةِ، وَدِينَارًا فِي الْبَحْرِ، حَتَّى جَعَلَهُ نِصْفَيْنِ " (٢)،
Translation
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 the wine, he would first mix water into it and then sell it. One day, the monkey grabbed his purse of money and climbed up a tree. The monkey began throwing one dinar into the sea and another into his owner'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.)
