Hadith 20984

حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ ، قَالَ : رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُتِيَ بِمَاعِزِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " تَخَلَّفَ أَحَدُهُمْ يُنَبِّبُ كَنَبِيبِ التَّيْسِ " ، قَالَ : فَحَدَّثْتُهُ الْحَكَمَ ، فَأَعْجَبَهُ ، وَقَالَ لِي : مَا الْكُثْبَةُ ؟ فَسَأَلْتُ سِمَاكًا عَنِ الْكُثْبَةِ ، فَقَالَ : اللَّبَنُ الْقَلِيلُ.
Hajjaj narrated to us, Shu'bah narrated to us, from Simak ibn Harb, who said: I heard Jabir ibn Samurah say: I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, Ma'iz ibn Malik was brought to him, and he mentioned its meaning except that he said: "One of them stayed behind making a sound like the bleating of a goat." He said: So I related it to al-Hakam, and it pleased him, and he said to me: What is al-kuthbah? So I asked Simak about al-kuthbah, and he said: A small amount of milk.
