ذِكْرُ الزَّجْرِ عَنِ إِنْزَاءِ الْحُمُرِ عَلَى الْخَيْلِ إِذْ فِعْلُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ أَفْعَالِ الَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

"A mule was given as a gift to the Messenger of Allah and he rode it." 'Ali said: "If we mate a donkey with a horse, we will have one like this." The Messenger of Allah said: "That is only done by those who do not know."  

أُهْدِيَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَغْلَةٌ فَرَكِبَهَا فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ لَوْ حَمَلْنَا الْحَمِيرَ عَلَى الْخَيْلِ لَكَانَتْ لَنَا مِثْلَ هَذِهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّمَا يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ الَّذِينَ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was present with a she-mule which he rode, so Ali said: If we made asses cover mares we would have animals of this type. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Only those who do not know do that.  

أُهْدِيَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَغْلَةٌ فَرَكِبَهَا فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ لَوْ حَمَلْنَا الْحَمِيرَ عَلَى الْخَيْلِ فَكَانَتْ لَنَا مِثْلُ هَذِهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّمَا يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ الَّذِينَ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ  

A mule was given to the Prophet ﷺ as a gift. Some of his Companions said: Why donʿt we get animals like this? He said: ʿDo you want to mate a donkey with a mare? That is only done by those who do not know.”  

أُهْدِيَتْ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ بَغْلَةٌ فَرَكِبَهَا فَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ لَوِ اتَّخَذْنَا مِثْلَ هَذَا قَالَ أَتُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تُنْزُوا الْحَمِيرَ عَلَى الْخَيْلِ؟ إِنَّمَا يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ  

A mule was given to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as a gift, and we said: O Messenger of Allah, what if we mate donkeys with our mares, then we will have something like this? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “That is only done by those who do not know.”  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ أُهْدِيَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بَغْلَةٌ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَوْ أَنَّا أَنْزَيْنَا الْحُمُرَ عَلَى خَيْلِنَا فَجَاءَتْنَا بِمِثْلِ هَذِهِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّمَا يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was present with a she-mule which he rode, so Ali said: If we made asses cover mares we would have animals of this type. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Only those who do not know do that. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2565)  

أُهْدِيَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بَغْلَةٌ فَرَكِبَهَا فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ لَوْ حَمَلْنَا الْحَمِيرَ عَلَى الْخَيْلِ لَكَانَتْ لَنَا مِثْلَ هَذِهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّمَا يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ»  

[Machine] It was gifted to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a camel that impressed us, so I said, "O Messenger of Allah, should we not replace our horses with camels until we acquire ones like this?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, only those who do not know do such a thing, and it is so."  

أُهْدِيَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بَغْلَةٌ فَأَعْجَبَتْنَا فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَا نُنْزِي الْحُمُرَ عَلَى خَيْلِنَا حَتَّى تَأْتِيَ بِمِثْلِ هَذِهِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّمَا يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ وَكَذَلِكَ  

" عن على قال: أهديت لرسول الله ﷺ بغلة فأعجبته فركبها، فقلنا يا رسول الله: لو أنزينا الحمر على خيلنا فجاءت بمثل هذه، فقال رسول الله ﷺ : إنما يفعل ذلك الذين لا يعلمون ".
