Imam al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Sayyiduna Dihyah bin Khalifah al-Kalbi (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah, shall we not have a donkey mate with a mare for you, so that a mule is born for you which you can ride?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Only those who do not know (its consequences) do that."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Dihyah (may Allah be pleased with him) except al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him), and no one narrated it from al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) except Umar bin Husayl; Waki' is alone in narrating it."
