Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الأَخْنَسِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، بِهَذَا بِإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ فِي ضَالَّةِ الْغَنَمِ " لَكَ أَوْ لأَخِيكَ أَوْ لِلذِّئْبِ خُذْهَا قَطُّ " . كَذَا قَالَ فِيهِ أَيُّوبُ وَيَعْقُوبُ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " فَخُذْهَا " .
Translation
Musaddad narrated to us; Abu Awanah narrated to us, from Ubayd Allah ibn al-Akhnas, from Amr ibn Shuaib, with this chain and report. Regarding a stray sheep, he said: It is yours, your brother's, or the wolf's—take it. Ayyub and Yaqub ibn Ata also said the same, from Amr ibn Shuaib, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Take it.
