[Machine] Daytime or nighttime? They said, "Daytime" and he nullified their answer and recited, "When the sheep of the people were sent forth" [Surah Al-Anbiya, verse 78]. And he said, "Verily, the sending forth happens at night." In another narration, Qatada narrated from Ash-Sha'abi that Shurayh was presented with a sheep that produced wool, so Ash-Sha'abi said, "Examine it, for he will ask you whether it was at night or during the day." So he asked them and said, "If it was at night, then you have guaranteed, and if it was during the day, there is no guarantee upon you." He said, "The sending forth happens at night and the ewe produces wool during the day." And it was also narrated from Masrouq that he said, "When the sheep of the people were sent forth" [Surah Al-Anbiya, verse 78]. He said, "It was a vineyard, and it entered it at night, and it did not leave anything green in it."
