أحمد:٨٤٢٧ – حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ يَبِيعُ الْخَمْرَ فِي سَفِينَةٍ وَكَانَ يَشُوبُهُ بِالْمَاءِ وَكَانَ مَعَهُ فِي السَّفِينَةِ قِرْدٌ قَالَ فَأَخَذَ الْكِيسَ وَفِيهِ الدَّنَانِيرُ قَالَ فَصَعِدَ الذَّرْوَ يَعْنِي الدَّقَلَ فَفَتَحَ الْكِيسَ فَجَعَلَ يُلْقِي فِي الْبَحْرِ دِينَارًا وَفِي السَّفِينَةِ دِينَارًا حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ فِيهِ شَيْءٌ

[Machine] Narrated by Hammad, it is believed that a man used to sell alcohol on a ship, and he had a monkey with him on the ship. He would dilute the alcohol with water. The monkey took a bag and climbed up the mast. It opened the bag and started taking a dinar from it and throwing it into the ship, and another dinar into the sea, until it made them equal in number.  

أحمد:٩٢٨٢ – حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِيمَا يَحْسِبُ حَمَّادٌ أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ يَبِيعُ الْخَمْرَ فِي سَفِينَةٍ وَمَعَهُ فِي السَّفِينَةِ قِرْدٌ فَكَانَ يَشُوبُ الْخَمْرَ بِالْمَاءِ قَالَ فَأَخَذَ الْقِرْدُ الْكِيسَ ثُمَّ صَعِدَ بِهِ فَوْقَ الذَّرْوِ وَفَتَحَ الْكِيسَ فَجَعَلَ يَأْخُذُ دِينَارًا فَيُلْقِهِ فِي السَّفِينَةِ وَدِينَارًا فِي الْبَحْرِ حَتَّى جَعَلَهُ نِصْفَيْنِ

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'A man carried wine with him on a ship to sell, and he had a monkey with him. He would mix the wine with water and then sell it. The monkey took the bag and climbed up the mast with it. He started throwing dinars into the sea and dinars into the ship until he divided them.'"  

أحمد:٨٠٥٥ – حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ رَجُلًا حَمَلَ مَعَهُ خَمْرًا فِي سَفِينَةٍ يَبِيعُهُ وَمَعَهُ قِرْدٌ قَالَ فَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا بَاعَ الْخَمْرَ شَابَهُ بِالْمَاءِ ثُمَّ بَاعَهُ قَالَ فَأَخَذَ الْقِرْدُ الْكِيسَ فَصَعِدَ بِهِ فَوْقَ الدَّقَلِ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ يَطْرَحُ دِينَارًا فِي الْبَحْرِ وَدِينَارًا فِي السَّفِينَةِ حَتَّى قَسَمَهُ
