Musnad Ahmad 8639 — Musnad of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with)
حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ ، وَعَفَّانُ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَوْسِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَجْلِسُ فَيَسْمَعُ الْحِكْمَةَ ، ثُمَّ لَا يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ صَاحِبِهِ إِلَّا بِشَرِّ مَا سَمِعَ ، كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ أَتَى رَاعِيًا ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَاعِيَ ، اجْزُرْ لِي شَاةً مِنْ غَنَمِكَ ، قَالَ : اذْهَبْ فَخُذْ بِأُذُنِ خَيْرِهَا ، فَذَهَبَ فَأَخَذَ بِأُذُنِ كَلْبِ الْغَنَمِ " .
Narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The example of a person who participates in a gathering and hears words of wisdom there, but conveys only the wrong things from it to his companion, is like the person who comes to a shepherd and says, "O shepherd! Slaughter a goat for me from your flock." The shepherd replies, "Go and bring the ear of the best one among them," and he goes and brings the ear of the flock's dog.
