Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، حَدَّثَنَا الثَّوْرِيُّ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُقَالُ لَهُ مُجَاشِعٌ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ فَعَزَّتِ الْغَنَمُ فَأَمَرَ مُنَادِيًا فَنَادَى أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يَقُولُ "إِنَّ الْجَذَعَ يُوَفِّي مِمَّا يُوَفِّي مِنْهُ الثَّنِيُّ " . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَهُوَ مُجَاشِعُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ
Translation
Narrated 'Asim b. Kulaib
On the authority of his father, who said: We were with a man from the Companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) called Mujashi‘, from Banu Sulaym, when sheep became scarce. He ordered a crier to announce that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to say: A young sheep (jadha‘) fulfills what a fully-grown sheep (thaniyy) fulfills.
Abu Dawud said: He is Mujashi‘ ibn Mas‘ud.
