28. Knowledge
٢٨۔ كِتَابُ الْعِلْمِ
Once I came riding a she-ass and had (just) attained the age of puberty. Messenger of Allah ﷺ was offering the prayer at Mina. There was no wall in front of him and I passed in front of some of the row while they were offering their prayers. There I let the she-ass loose to graze and entered the row, and nobody objected to it. (Using translation from Bukhārī 76)
أَقْبَلْتُ رَاكِبًا عَلَى حِمَارٍ وَأَنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ قَدْ نَاهَزْتُ الِاحْتِلَامَ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ بِمِنًى فَمَرَرْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ بَعْضِ الصَّفِّ فَنَزَلْتُ فَأَرْسَلْتُ الْحِمَارَ تَرْتَعُ وَدَخَلْتُ فِي الصَّفِّ «فَلَمْ يُنْكَرْ ذَلِكَ عَلَيَّ أَحَدٌ»
[Machine] It has been reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was approached by a five-year-old boy who claimed that he had recovered a bucket hanging by a thread."
أَنَّهُ قَدْ أَدْرَكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ ابْنُ خَمْسِ سِنِينَ وَزَعَمَ أَنَّهُ عَقِلَ مَجَّةً مَجَّهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ دَلْوٍ مُعَلَّقٍ فِي دَرَاهِمْ»
