أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْخَيْرِ، عَنِ ابْنِ زُرَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، رضى الله عنه قَالَ أُهْدِيَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَغْلَةٌ فَرَكِبَهَا فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ لَوْ حَمَلْنَا الْحَمِيرَ عَلَى الْخَيْلِ لَكَانَتْ لَنَا مِثْلَ هَذِهِ . قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنَّمَا يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ الَّذِينَ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ " .
Qutaibah bin Sa'id narrated to us: Al-Laith narrated to us, from Yazid bin Abi Habib, from Abu Al-Khair, from Ibn Zurair, from 'Ali bin Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 'A mule was presented to the Messenger of Allah, and he rode it.' 'Ali said: 'If we bred donkeys with horses, we would have animals like this.' The Messenger of Allah replied: 'Only those who do not know do that.'
