حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، . أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ رَأَى رَجُلاً يَسُوقُ بَدَنَةً فَقَالَ " ارْكَبْهَا " . قَالَ إِنَّهَا بَدَنَةٌ . قَالَ " ارْكَبْهَا وَيْحَكَ " .
Translation
Abū Bakr ibn Abī Shaybah narrated to us: Wakīʿ narrated to us, from Sufyān al-Thawrī, from Abū al-Zinād, from al-Aʿraj, from Abū Hurayrah, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man leading a sacrificial camel and said, “Ride it.” The man said, “It is a sacrificial camel.” He said, “Ride it, woe to you.”
