أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نَصْرِ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ، أنبأ أَبُو الْفَضْلِ بْنُ خَمِيرَوَيْهِ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ، ثنا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ شَرِيكٍ، عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ الْعَبْدِيِّ، عَنْ كُلْثُومِ بْنِ الْأَقْمَرِ، قَالَ: أَوَّلُ مَنْ عَرَّبَ الْعِرَابَ رَجُلٌ مِنَّا يُقَالُ لَهُ مُنْذِرٌ الْوَادِعِيُّ، كَانَ عَامِلًا لِعُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ عَلَى بَعْضِ الشَّامِ فَطَلَبَ الْعَدُوَّ، فَلَحِقَتِ الْخَيْلُ وَتَقَطَّعَتِ الْبَرَاذِينُ، فَأَسْهَمَ لِلْخَيْلِ وَتَرَكَ الْبَرَاذِينَ، وَكَتَبَ إِلَى عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَكَتَبَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: " نِعِمَّا رَأَيْتَ ". فَصَارَتْ سُنَّةً. رَوَاهُ الشَّافِعِيُّ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " وَالَّذِي نَذْهَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ هَذَا تَسْوِيَةٌ بَيْنَ الْخَيْلِ وَالْعِرَابِ وَالْبَرَاذِينِ وَالْمَقَارِيفِ، وَلَوْ كُنَّا نُثْبِتُ مِثْلَ هَذَا مَا خَالَفْنَاهُ.
Kulthum bin al-Aqmar (may Allah have mercy on him) says: The first person to distinguish the Arab horses (in the shares) was a man from among us called Mundhir al-Wadi'i. He was the governor of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) over some areas of Syria. He pursued the enemy; the (Arab) horses caught up, and the non-Arab horses fell behind. So he allotted a share for the (Arab) horses and left out the non-Arab horses, and wrote to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), who replied: What you decided is excellent. So it became the practice. Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) says: Our view on this is that Arab and non-Arab horses, and the horse whose dam is Arab and sire non-Arab or the reverse, are all to be treated equally; and if we were to accept such a report as established, we would not oppose it.
