ahmad:5359Khalaf b. al-Walīd > al-Hudhayl b. Bilāl > Ibn ʿUbayd from his father > Jalas Dhāt Yawm Bimakkah And ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿUmar Maʿah from my father

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The example of a hypocrite on the Day of Judgment is like a sheep standing between two cows. If it goes to one, it is pushed away, and if it goes to the other, it is pushed away." Ibn Umar said, "You lie! The people praised my father as being good and charitable." Ibn Umar continued, "I don't think your companion is anything different from what you said. However, I heard the Prophet of Allah ﷺ himself saying, 'Like a sheep standing between two sheep.' He did not say, 'the cows.'"  

أحمد:٥٣٥٩حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ حَدَّثَنَا الْهُذَيْلُ بْنُ بِلَالٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ جَلَسَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ بِمَكَّةَ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ مَعَهُ فَقَالَ أَبِي

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ مَثَلَ الْمُنَافِقِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَالشَّاةِ بَيْنَ الرَّبِيضَيْنِ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ إِنْ أَتَتْ هَؤُلَاءِ نَطَحَتْهَا وَإِنْ أَتَتْ هَؤُلَاءِ نَطَحَتْهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عُمَرَ كَذَبْتَ فَأَثْنَى الْقَوْمُ عَلَى أَبِي خَيْرًا أَوْ مَعْرُوفًا فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ لَا أَظُنُّ صَاحِبَكُمْ إِلَّا كَمَا تَقُولُونَ وَلَكِنِّي شَاهِدٌ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ إِذْ قَالَ كَالشَّاةِ بَيْنَ الْغَنَمَيْنِ فَقَالَ هُوَ سَوَاءٌ فَقَالَ هَكَذَا سَمِعْتُهُ
