Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ الظَّهْرُ يُرْكَبُ إِذَا كَانَ مَرْهُونًا وَلَبَنُ الدَّرِّ يُشْرَبُ إِذَا كَانَ مَرْهُونًا وَعَلَى الَّذِي يَرْكَبُ وَيَشْرَبُ نَفَقَتُهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us: Waki narrated to us, from Zakariyya, from al-Shabi, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “A riding animal may be ridden when it is pledged, and a milk-bearing animal may be milked when it is pledged. The person who rides or drinks its milk must provide for its upkeep.”

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The Arabic pairs use of pledged livestock with responsibility for its maintenance; both the riding and milk-bearing cases are included.
