حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَوْسِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَة ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم : " مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَسْمَعُ الْحِكْمَةَ وَيَتَّبِعُ شَرَّ مَا يَسْمَعُ , كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ أَتَى رَاعِيًا , فَقَالَ لَهُ : أَجْزِرْنِي شَاةً مِنْ غَنَمِكَ . فَقَالَ : اذْهَبْ فَخُذْ بِأُذُنِ خَيْرِهَا شَاةً . فَذَهَبَ فَأَخَذَ بِأُذُنِ كَلْبِ الْغَنَمِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the example of a person "who sits in a gathering and hears words of wisdom, but only selects and conveys the wrong things from it to his companion. His example is like that of a 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."
