أَخْبَرَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ عَنْ هُشَيْمٍ عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ خَبَّابٍ عَنْ مَيْسَرَةَ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ غَفَلَةَ قَالَ أَتَانَا مُصَدِّقُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَجَلَسْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ إِنَّ فِي عَهْدِي أَنْ لَا نَأْخُذَ رَاضِعَ لَبَنٍ وَلَا نَجْمَعَ بَيْنَ مُتَفَرِّقٍ وَلَا نُفَرِّقَ بَيْنَ مُجْتَمِعٍ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ بِنَاقَةٍ کَوْمَائَ فَقَالَ خُذْهَا فَأَبَی
سنن نسائی · Hadith 2463
It was narrated that Suwaid bin Ghafalah said: “The Zakah collector of the Prophet came to us, and I went to him, sat with him, and heard him say: In my contract it says that we should not take any suckling young, nor combine what is separate, nor separate what is combined.’ A man brought a she-camel with a big hump to him and said: ‘Take it,’ but he refused.” (Da’if)
