حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ وَاضِحٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْکَرِيمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْمُخَارِقِ عَنْ حِبَّانَ بْنِ جَزْئٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ خُزَيْمَةَ بْنِ جَزْئٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ جِئْتُکَ لِأَسْأَلَکَ عَنْ أَحْنَاشِ الْأَرْضِ مَا تَقُولُ فِي الثَّعْلَبِ قَالَ وَمَنْ يَأْکُلُ الثَّعْلَبَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا تَقُولُ فِي الذِّئْبِ قَالَ وَيَأْکُلُ الذِّئْبَ أَحَدٌ فِيهِ خَيْرٌ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 3235
It was narrated that Khuzaimah bin Jaz’ said: “I said: ‘0 Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H, I have come to ask you about the vermin of the earth. What do you say about foxes?’ He said: ‘Who eats foxes?’ I said: ‘0 Messenger of Allah, what do you say about wolves?’ He said: ‘Does anyone in whom there is anything good eat wolves?” (Da`if)
