حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَوْسِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَجْلِسُ يَسْمَعُ الْحِكْمَةَ ثُمَّ لَا يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ صَاحِبِهِ إِلَّا بِشَرِّ مَا يَسْمَعُ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ أَتَى رَاعِيًا فَقَالَ يَا رَاعِي أَجْزِرْنِي شَاةً مِنْ غَنَمِكَ قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَخُذْ بِأُذُنِ خَيْرِهَا فَذَهَبَ فَأَخَذَ بِأُذُنِ كَلْبِ الْغَنَمِقَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَاهُ إِسْمَعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ وَقَالَ فِيهِ بِأُذُنِ خَيْرِهَا شَاةً
Narrated by [Abu Bakar bin Abu Syaibah], narrated by [Al Hasan bin Musa], from [Hammad bin Salamah], from [Ali bin Zaid], from [Aus bin Khalid], from [Abu Hurairah], he said: Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: 'One who sits, hears wisdom, then speaks only of the worst he hears is like a man who comes to a shepherd and says: O shepherd slaughter me a sheep." The shepherd says: "Go take the best by its ear but he takes the sheepdog’s ear.' Abu Al Hasan bin Salamah said: Narrated by Isma'il bin Ibrahim, narrated by Musa, narrated by Hammad, mentioning similarly, but saying: 'Take the best sheep by its ear.'
