English translation

4172. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The likeness of the one who sits and listens to wisdom then only speaks of the bad things that he has heard, is that of a man who comes to a shepherd and says: "O shepherd, give me one of your sheep to slaughter," and (the shepherd) says: "Go and grab the ear of the best of them." Then he goes and grabs the ear of the sheepdog." (Da'if) Another chain with similar wording.

4172 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَوْسِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَجْلِسُ يَسْمَعُ الْحِكْمَةَ، ثُمَّ لَا يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ صَاحِبِهِ إِلَّا بِشَرِّ مَا سَمِعَ، كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ أَتَى رَاعِيًا، فَقَالَ: يَا رَاعِي أَجْزِرْنِي شَاةً مِنْ غَنَمِكَ، قَالَ: اذْهَبْ فَخُذْ بِأُذُنِ خَيْرِهَا، فَذَهَبَ فَأَخَذَ بِأُذُنِ كَلْبِ الْغَنَمِ "، قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ، وَقَالَ فِيهِ: بِأُذُنِ خَيْرِهَا شَاةً
