Musnad of Abu al-Tufayl
Musnad Abi Ya'la 904 — Sayyiduna Abu al-Tufayl from the Prophet ﷺ
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ السَّامِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَعَنْ حَبِيبٍ ، وَحُمَيْدٍ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : « بَيْنَمَا أَنَا أَنْزِعُ اللَّيْلَةَ إِذْ وَرَدَتْ عَلَيَّ غَنَمٌ سُودٌ ، وَغَنَمٌ عُفْرٌ ، فَجَاءَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَنَزَعَ ذَنُوبًا أَوْ ذَنُوبَيْنِ فِيهِمَا ضَعْفٌ ، وَاللهُ يَغْفِرُ لَهُ ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ عُمَرُ فَاسْتَحَالَتْ غَرْبًا فَمَلَأَ الْحِيَاضَ ، وَأَرْوَى الْوَارِدَةَ ، فَلَمْ أَرَ عَبْقَرِيًّا مِنَ النَّاسِ أَحْسَنَ نَزْعًا مِنْهُ ، فَأَوَّلْتُ أَنَّ الْغَنَمَ السُّودَ الْعَرَبُ ، وَالْعُفْرَ الْعَجَمُ » .
Sayyiduna Abu al-Tufayl (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and Imam al-Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him) (in mursal form), narrate that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Last night (in a dream) I was drawing water from a well when black sheep and dusky sheep came to me (to drink). Then Abu Bakr came and drew one or two buckets, and there was some weakness in his drawing, and may Allah forgive him. Then Umar came, and the bucket turned into a huge bucket; he filled the troughs and gave those who came plenty to drink. I have not seen any genius among people who drew water better than him. I interpreted it that the black sheep are the Arabs and the dusky sheep are the non-Arabs."
