Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ سَوَّادٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلاَلٍ، عَنْ شَرِيكِ بْنِ أَبِي نَمِرٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ بَعَثَهُ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ وَقَالَ لَهُ ‏ "‏ خُذِ الْحَبَّ مِنَ الْحَبِّ وَالشَّاةَ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ وَالْبَعِيرَ مِنَ الإِبِلِ وَالْبَقَرَةَ مِنَ الْبَقَرِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Amr ibn Sawwad al-Misri narrated to us; Abdullah ibn Wahb narrated to us; Sulayman ibn Bilal informed me, from Sharik ibn Abi Namir, from Ata ibn Yasar, from Mu‘adh ibn Jabal, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent him to Yemen and said to him: ‘Take grain from grain, sheep from sheep, a camel from camels, and a cow from cattle.’
