حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " نِعْمَ الصَّدَقَةُ اللِّقْحَةُ الصَّفِيُّ مِنْحَةً، وَالشَّاةُ الصَّفِيُّ مِنْحَةً، تَغْدُو بِإِنَاءٍ، وَتَرُوحُ بِآخَرَ ".
Abū al-Yamān informed us: Shuʿayb informed us: Abū al-Zinād narrated to us, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, from Abū Hurayrah (may God be pleased with him), that the Messenger of God ﷺ said: “How excellent a charitable gift is a choice milch camel given on loan, or a choice milch sheep given on loan: it yields one vessel [of milk] in the morning and another in the evening.”
Translation notes
The source describes a selected dairy animal given as a temporary loan (minḥah), whose milk benefits the recipient morning and evening.
