[Machine] The example of someone who assists his people in something untrue is like a tired camel that is pulled by its tail. Abu Dawud raised it, while Shu'ba did not. The sheikh, may Allah have mercy on him, said that it has been narrated from Sufyan and Israel as a raised hadith [a statement attributed directly to the Prophet Muhammad]. Abu Ali al-Rudhbari informed us that Muhammad ibn Bakr narrated to him, who narrated from Abu Dawud, who narrated from Ibn Bashshar, who narrated from Abu Amer, who narrated from Sufyan, who narrated from Simak ibn Harb, who narrated from Abdur Rahman ibn Abdullah ibn Masood, who said, "I reached the Prophet ﷺ while he was in a dome of Adam, and he mentioned something similar to this."  

مَثَلُ الَّذِي يُعِينُ قَوْمَهُ عَلَى غَيْرِ الْحَقِّ مَثَلُ بَعِيرٍ رُدِّيَ وَهُوَ يَجُرُّ بِذَنَبِهِ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ رَفَعَهُ عَمْرُو بْنُ ثَابِتٍ وَلَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ شُعْبَةُ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ وَإِسْرَائِيلَ مَرْفُوعًا 21079 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا ابْنُ بَشَّارٍ ثنا أَبُو عَامِرٍ ثنا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ فِي قُبَّةٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ
