(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَلْقَمَةَ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : أُهْدِيَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَغْلٌ ، أَوْ بَغْلَةٌ ، فَقُلْتُ : مَا هَذَا ؟ قَالَ : " بَغْلٌ ، أَوْ بَغْلَةٌ " ، قُلْتُ : وَمِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ هُوَ ؟ قَالَ : " يُحْمَلُ الْحِمَارُ عَلَى الْفَرَسِ ، فَيَخْرُجُ بَيْنَهُمَا هَذَا " ، قُلْتُ : أَفَلَا نَحْمِلُ فُلَانًا عَلَى فُلَانَةَ ؟ قَالَ : " لَا ، إِنَّمَا يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that once a mule was presented to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as a gift. I asked, "What is this?" He replied, "It is a mule. Is it male or female?" I asked, "From which lineage does it come?" He said, "A donkey is made to mount a mare, and the result is this mule." I said, "Then should I not also make such-and-such donkey mount such-and-such mare?" He said, "No, this is done by those who are ignorant."
