حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ وَاضِحٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْمُخَارِقِ، عَنْ حِبَّانَ بْنِ جَزْءٍ، عَنْ أَخِيهِ، خُزَيْمَةَ بْنِ جَزْءٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ جِئْتُكَ لأَسْأَلَكَ عَنْ أَحْنَاشِ الأَرْضِ مَا تَقُولُ فِي الثَّعْلَبِ قَالَ " وَمَنْ يَأْكُلُ الثَّعْلَبَ " . قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا تَقُولُ فِي الذِّئْبِ قَالَ " وَيَأْكُلُ الذِّئْبَ أَحَدٌ فِيهِ خَيْرٌ " .

Abū Bakr ibn Abī Shaybah narrated to us: Yaḥyā ibn Wāḍiḥ narrated to us, from Muḥammad ibn Isḥāq, from ʿAbd al-Karīm ibn Abī al-Mukhāriq, from Ḥibbān ibn Jazʾ, from his brother Khuzaymah ibn Jazʾ, who said: I said: Messenger of God, I have come to ask you about the creatures of the earth. What do you say about the fox? He said: Who eats fox? I said: Messenger of God, what do you say about the wolf? He said: Would anyone with goodness in him eat wolf?
