قلت: وهذا إسناد صحيح كالذي قبله؛ إلا أن هذا ليس فيه قول عبيد الله: (عن أبيه) بخلاف ما قبله؛ ففيه: (عن أبيه)، وهي زيادة من سفيان وهَّمه فيها المؤلف كما رأيت، وسلفه في ذلك الإمام أحمد؛ كما نقلته آنفًا، وتبعهما على ذلك البيهقي (٩/ ٣٠١).

2836. It was reported from ‘Ubaidullāh bin Abī Yazīd, from Sibā’ bin Thābit, from Umm Kurz who said: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘For a boy, two sheep that are similar, and for a girl, one sheep.’” (Hasan) Abū Dāwūd said: This is the Hadīth, and the narration of Sufyān (no. 2835) is a mistake.
2836 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي يَزِيدَ، عَنْ سِبَاعِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ كُرْزٍ، قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «عَنِ الْغُلَامِ شَاتَانِ، مِثْلَانِ، وَعَنِ الْجَارِيَةِ شَاةٌ» قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: «هَذَا هُوَ الْحَدِيثُ، وَحَدِيثُ سُفْيَانَ وَهْمٌ»

[1] Al-Khaṭṭābī cites an explanation of Imām Ash-Shāfi‘ī; that if Arabs set out from their house on some matter, and they saw a bird flying, they would derive an omen from the direction of flight. If the bird was sitting on its perch, they would startle it so it would fly, so they could determine the omen. Al-Khaṭṭābī also added, that it has been said that the Hadīth shows that it is disliked to hunt birds during the night, meaning, that they should not be hunted while they are nesting.
What Imām Abū Dāwūd means to say is that the words "from his father" occurring after 'Abdullāh, in the previous narration from Sufyān, are wrongly inserted in the chain of narrators.
