حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْأَخْنَسِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ بِهَذَا بِإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ فِي ضَالَّةِ الْغَنَمِ لَکَ أَوْ لِأَخِيکَ أَوْ لِلذِّئْبِ خُذْهَا قَطُّ وَکَذَا قَالَ فِيهِ أَيُّوبُ وَيَعْقُوبُ بْنُ عَطَائٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فَخُذْهَا
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 1712
The aforesaid tradition has also been transmitted by Amr bin Shuaib through a different chain of narrators. This version has: He said about the stray sheep: You, your brother or the wolf may have them. Do take it. A similar version has been transmitted by Ayyub and Ya’qub bin `Ata from Amr bin Shu’aid from the Propher ﷺ. He said: then take it.
