[Machine] "A woman went out and she had a loaf of bread and a child with her. Then a wolf came and snatched it from her. She followed him with the bread. A stranger approached her and asked for it, so she gave him the bread. The wolf then returned her child to her."  

الزهد لأحمد:٥٠٤حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أبِي أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ قَالَ

«خَرَجَتِ امْرَأَةٌ وَكَانَ مَعَهَا رَغِيفٌ وَصَبِيٌّ لَهَا فَجَاءَ الذِّئْبُ فَاخْتَلَسَهُ مِنْهَا فَخَرَجَتْ فِي إِثْرِهِ وَكَانَ مَعَهَا الرَّغِيفُ فَعَرَضَ لَهَا سَائِلٌ فَأَعْطَتْهُ الرَّغِيفَ» قَالَ «فَجَاءَ الذِّئْبُ بِصَبِيِّهَا فَرَدَّهُ عَلَيْهَا»
