I accompanied Jarir at Bawazij. The shepherd brought the cows. Among them there was a cow that was not one of them. Jarir asked him: What is this? He replied: This was mixed with the cows and we do not know to whom it belongs. Jarir said: Take it out. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: No one mixes a stray animal (with his animals) but a man who strays from right path.  

أبو داود:١٧٢٠ – حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدٌ عَنْ أَبِي حَيَّانَ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنِ الْمُنْذِرِ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ قَالَ

كُنْتُ مَعَ جَرِيرٍ بِالْبَوَازِيجِ فَجَاءَ الرَّاعِي بِالْبَقَرِ وَفِيهَا بَقَرَةٌ لَيْسَتْ مِنْهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ جَرِيرٌ مَا هَذِهِ قَالَ لَحِقَتْ بِالْبَقَرِ لاَ نَدْرِي لِمَنْ هِيَ فَقَالَ جَرِيرٌ أَخْرِجُوهَا فَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لاَ يَأْوِي الضَّالَّةَ إِلاَّ ضَالٌّ

“I was with my father in Bawazij and the cows came back in the evening. He saw a cow did not recognize it. He said: 'What is this?' He said: 'A cow that joined the herd.' And he issued orders that it be driven away until it disappeared from view. Then he said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: “No one gives refuge to a stray animal but one who is also astray.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2503)   

الطبراني:٢٣٧٧ – حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ النَّضْرِ الْأَزْدِيُّ ثنا شِهَابُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَيَّانَ التَّيْمِيِّ ثنا الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ عَنْ مُنْذِرِ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ قَالَ

كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي بِالْبَوَارِيجِ فَرَاحَتِ الْبَقَرُ فَرَأَى بَقَرَةً أَنْكَرَهَا فَقَالَ لِلرَّاعِي مَا هَذِهِ قَالُوا هَذِهِ بَقَرَةٌ لَحِقِتْ بِالْبَقَرِ لَا يُدْرَى لِمَنْ هِي فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَطُرِدَتْ حَتَّى تَوَارَتْ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا يُؤْوِي الضَّالَّةَ إِلَّا ضَالٌّ»
