Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 15866

وَعَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ قَالَ : مَرَّ ابْنُ عُمَرَ بِرَاعِي غَنَمٍ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَاعِيَ الْغَنَمِ ، هَلْ مِنْ جَزْرَةٍ ؟ قَالَ الرَّاعِي : مَا لَيْسَ هَاهُنَا رَبُّهَا . قَالَ : تَقُولُ أَكَلَهَا الذِّئْبُ ، فَرَفَعَ الرَّاعِي رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : فَأَيْنَ اللَّهُ ؟ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ : فَأَنَا وَاللَّهِ أَحَقُّ أَنْ أَقُولَ : فَأَيْنَ اللَّهُ . فَاشْتَرَى ابْنُ عُمَرَ الرَّاعِيَ ، وَاشْتَرَى الْغَنَمَ ، فَأَعْتَقَهُ وَأَعْطَاهُ الْغَنَمَ . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ غَيْرَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ الْحَاطِبِيِّ ، وَهُوَ ثِقَةٌ .
Zayd bin Aslam said: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) passed by a shepherd of goats and asked: O shepherd of the goats! Is there a goat that could be slaughtered? The shepherd said: Their owner is not here. Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: You can say that a wolf ate it. The shepherd raised his head towards the sky and then asked: Then where is Allah Almighty? Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: By Allah! I have more right to say: Where is Allah Almighty? (meaning, Allah Almighty is watching). Then Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) bought that shepherd and bought his goats, then freed the shepherd and gave him the goats.
Imam al-Tabarani recorded this report, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, except for Abdullah bin al-Harith al-Hatibi, and he is thiqah (trustworthy).
