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
The aforesaid tradition has also been transmitted by ‘Amr bin Shu’aib through a different chain of narrators. This version has
Musaddad told us, Abu Awanah told us, from Ubaidullah bin Al-Akhnas, from Amr bin Shu'ayb, with this same isnad, who said regarding a stray sheep: "It is for you, or for your brother, or for the wolf. Take it." Thus did Ayyub and Ya'qub bin Ata' state from Amr bin Shu'ayb, from the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, that he said: "So take it."
