Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 5610 — the Prophet ﷺ said: Among the Children

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ قَالَ : ثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّرْجُمَانِيُّ قَالَ : نَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ صَفْوَانَ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : كَانَ جَدْيٌ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ تُرْضِعُهُ أُمُّهُ فَتَرْوِيهِ ، فَانْفَلَتَ يَوْمًا ، فَرَضَعَ غَنَمًا كَثِيرَةً ، فَلَمْ يَرْوَ ، فَأُوحِيَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ : أَنَّ مَثَلَ هَذَا الْجَدْيِ مَثَلُ قَوْمٍ يَأْتُونَ مِنْ بَعْدِكُمْ ، يُعْطَى الرَّجُلُ مَا يَكْفِي الْأُمَّةَ أَوِ الْقَبِيلَةَ فَلَا يَشْبَعُ .
I " لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ إِلَّا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ صَفْوَانَ وَأَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، وَلَمْ يَرْوِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَوَانَةَ إِلَّا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ I " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Among the Children of Israel there was a young goat whose mother would suckle it, and it would be satisfied. One day it broke loose and suckled from many goats, yet it was not satisfied. Then it was revealed to a man among them that the likeness of this young goat is the likeness of people who will come after you: a man will be given what would suffice a whole nation or a whole tribe, and still he will not be satisfied."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Ata bin al-Sa'ib except Shu'ayb bin Safwan and Abu Awanah, and no one narrated it from Abu Awanah except Yahya bin Hammad."
