The virtue of sheep
Majma al-Zawaid 5956 — The virtue of sheep
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ : كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - جُلُوسًا فَجَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَدَخَلَ بِجَذَعٍ مِنَ الْمَعْزِ سَمِينٍ سَيِّدٍ ، وَجَذَعٍ مِنِ الضَّأْنِ مَهْزُولٍ خَسِيسٍ فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، هَذَا الْجَذَعُ مِنَ الضَّأْنِ مَهْزُولٌ خَسِيسٌ ، وَهَذَا جَذَعٌ مِنَ الْمَعْزِ سَمِينٌ سَيِّدٌ ، وَهُوَ خَيْرُهُمَا أَفَأُضَحِّي بِهِ ؟ قَالَ : " ضَحِّ بِهِ ، فَإِنَّ لِلَّهِ الْخَيْرَ " .
رَوَاهُ أَبُو يَعْلَى مِنْ رِوَايَةِ حَنَشٍ الْعَبْدِيِّ ، وَلَمْ أَجِدْ مَنْ تَرْجَمَهُ .

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) states: We were sitting with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when a man came to him. He brought a fat young goat, and he brought a young sheep that was weak and lean. He said: "O Messenger of Allah! This is a young sheep that is weak and lean, and this is a young goat that is fat and healthy, and it is the better of the two. Shall I sacrifice it?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Sacrifice it, for what is for Allah Almighty should be the best."
Abu Ya'la recorded it as a narration of Hanash al-Abdi; I did not find anyone who has given his biography.
