Continuation of the Musnad of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 6388 — the Prophet ﷺ said: The likeness of one
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَوْسِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَسْمَعُ الْحِكْمَةَ فَيُحَدِّثُ بِشَرِّ مَا سَمِعَ ، مَثَلُ رَجُلٍ أَتَى رَاعِيًا ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَاعِي ، أَجْزِرْنِي شَاةً مِنْ غَنَمِكَ ، فَقَالَ : اذْهَبْ فَخُذْ بِأُذُنِ خَيْرِهَا شَاةً ، فَذَهَبَ فَأَخَذَ بِأُذُنِ كَلْبِ الْغَنَمِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The likeness of one who hears words of wisdom but passes on only the bad of what he heard is that of a man who came to a shepherd and said: O shepherd, give me one of your sheep to slaughter. The shepherd said: Go and take the best sheep among them by its ear. But he went and took hold of the ear of the dog that guards the flock (instead of a sheep)."
