Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 17468

وَعَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " لَوْ غُفِرَ لَكُمْ مَا تَأْتُونَ إِلَى الْبَهَائِمِ لَغُفِرَ لَكُمُ الْكَثِيرُ " .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ مَرْفُوعًا كَمَا تَرَاهُ ، وَرَوَاهُ ابْنُهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ مَوْقُوفًا ، وَإِسْنَادُهُ جَيِّدٌ .
Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "If you were forgiven for the way you treat animals, you would be forgiven for much (of your other shortcomings as well)."
Ahmad recorded it as a marfu' narration (traced to the Prophet), as you see it, while his son Abdullah recorded it as a mawquf narration (stopping at the Companion), and its chain is jayyid (good).
