Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 641 — Ja'far bin Sulayman al-Duba'i
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ قَالَ : نَا مُحْرِزُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ قَالَ : نَا أَخِي مُخْتَارٌ ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ الضُّبَعِيِّ قَالَ : رَأَيْتُ خَلْفَ مَالِكِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ كَلْبًا يَتْبَعُهُ ، فَقُلْتُ : مَا هَذَا يَا أَبَا يَحْيَى ؟ قَالَ : I " هَذَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ جَلِيسِ السُّوءِ I " .
Ja'far bin Sulayman al-Duba'i (may Allah have mercy on him) relates: I saw a dog behind Malik bin Dinar (may Allah have mercy on him), following him, so I asked: "O Abu Yahya, what is this?" He said: "This is better than an evil companion."
